Maurice Stubbs grew up on the West Australian coast. The sea, together with the expansive skies,were a pervasive influence. The light was intense, the weather, subject to extremes. Colours were strong, vibrant and rich. All these influences were strongly felt and are still present in his art today.The Great Lakes and the rocky shores of the Bruce Peninsula are subject to similar dramatic extremes of climate. This has had a strong appeal, especially the intensity of the light and its influence on the colour and forms of the landscape. For the most part his paintings are about the nature of nature and how to capture the dynamic impact of the simplest forms in the landscape. Not only to convey the intensity of his own experiences, but to allow the viewer space to add their own.
His work is represented in many public and private collections in Canada, the U.S.A., Europe, Australia and New Zealand. He was formerly an Associate Curator at the National Gallery of Canada and Director of the McIntosh Gallery at the University of Western Ontario. He lives and works in London, Ontario.
