The pieces are absolutely incredible ... It's a wonderful showcase for the beauty of this country. -Marci Ien, Canada AM An artist can encounter tough obstacles when putting brush to canvas. But plein air painter Cory Trepanier's challenges rise to another level altogether. The resulting works are as immediate and breathtaking as nature itself. -Audrey Overstreet, The Spokesman-Review The paintings have a historical feel. Looking at them, one's mind drifts easily to the early artists who documented the unfolding colonial project across Canada's southern reaches.- Galleries West
