Dominik Modlinski

The quintessential plein air painter, roams from mountain to ice fields, following his muse. He thrives in a physically challenging environment, and his oil paintings speak of an intense involvement with the land. Born in Warsw, Poland, where he attended The school for Artistic Design, he came to Canada at the age of 15. In Toronto, he graduated with honors from the Ontario College of Arts in 1993. He then moved to North West of Atlin, British Columbia. Here, he taught art and was a wilderness guide, from 1995 - 2000. The past seven years have taken him through Alaska, The Yukon, Antarctica, N.W. Territories and Patagonia.
