Lloyd Major is a Canadian artist who specializes in oil paintings of West Coast old growth forests, totem poles, silver birch and poplar groves, landscapes and seascapes of Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Nanoose Bay and Rathtrevor Beach on the east side of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
A current passion is painting the old totem poles found throughout the Northern Gulf Islands, Haida Gwaii (previously called the Queen Charlotte Islands) and especially SGang Gwaay (Anthony Island) at the southern tip of the ‘Charlottes’. Anthony Island is home of the old Haida village of Ninstints, and is a World Heritage Site located in Gwaii Hanaas National Park. Lloyd’s masterful interpretation of the old poles has resulted in several series of commissioned paintings.
Primarily an oil painter, Lloyd is happy to create a work specifically for you on a commission basis. The images found in this online gallery may, if already sold, serve as inspiration for a custom art work.
Lloyd’s new working art studio and gallery, starting in June, 2011, is located at Major and Maxwell Studio and Gallery one short block straight inland from the Beach Club in downtown Parksville, BC.
