Audrey Casey

Artist Biography

The pride of Manitoba, Canada, Audrey was the first Canadian woman artist to be published by Mill Pond. Audrey was raised in a rural area near a Canadian national park and having spent 16 years in the boreal forest region of northern Canada, it's not surprising that she developed as deep love for the wilderness and its inhabitants. Painting art, prints and posters professionally since 1980, Casey's career has rapidly advanced.

One of her paintings toured for three years with the Canadian Nature Federation's traveling art exhibit. She was selected as one of 19 Canadian wildlife artists to participate in the Royal Ontario Museum display celebrating 1987 as Wildlife Year in Canada. Audrey has enjoyed three sell-out one-women shows, has her artwork included in the commemorative book, THE ART OF SURVIVAL and her art, prints and posters are among several prestigious corporate and government collections.

An advocate of experiencing her subjects on their own turf, Casey has traveled from the savannahs of east Africa to the polar bear grounds of Churchill, Manitoba to study and collect reference materials on wildlife for her art, prints and posters. Casey says that an artist's fieldwork, "as well as simply getting reference materials for our paintings, also gives us a bearing on art. The goal of the artist is to communicate, to absorb an experience, a mood, a feeling and distill it onto canvas, thus passing it on to our viewers.”
