Lloyd Major is a relatively new and increasingly
popular West Coast artist who has achieved his goal to become recognized
and successful painting original oils of old growth forests, birch groves,
landscapes and seascapes. Lloyd was born in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. His creative talent was evident throughout his school years in the form of drawings, sketches and cartoons. He attended art school in Calgary but for most of his life he owned and operated sign shops in Alberta, Quebec and Ontario where he was often asked to create murals for his customers. He was also involved in commercial art and as a cartoonist for local newspapers. In the early 1990s Lloyd realized that his true desire was to create original oil paintings. Lloyd has been a resident of Parksville, Vancouver Island, BC for several years, which has added a new dimension to his work. The beauty of the west coast is a great inspiration and he now specializes in West Coast old growth forests, the totem poles of the coastal First Nations, landscapes and seascapes. As he creates only original oil paintings and not prints, it is often difficult to keep up with the demand for Lloyd's work. Many of his paintings are now in Germany, England, Ireland and the United States as well as right across Canada. Lloyd also teaches painting, in very limited classes starting in September. Demand is high - if you wish to take oil painting lessons with Lloyd you will need to plan ahead! Lloyd's studio is located at 119 Craig Street, Parksville, BC (in the back of Mercedes Lane, the former location of Major Art Gallery). Email Lloyd
