Tom Haukaas — The Kootenays are His Muse
By Ari Lord
Tom Haukaas is a self-taught artist from Nelson who has shown his work since 2013 in solo and group exhibitions.
His work appears in private and public collections in western Canada.
His pieces are all landscapes done in acrylic paint on stretched canvas — his main inspiration for his work is nature.
“I do all-natural scenes,” Haukaas said.
“I grew up outside of Nelson, ten miles north, near Kokanee Creek Park, so I spent much of my adolescence outdoors in nature. The west arm has nice lakes and creeks. It’s picturesque.”
