My name is Dan Ostler. I live in Ladysmith, British Columbia, and I paint watercolours.
Studio visits are welcome by appointment. Just call or email and I'll be glad to set up a time. (Otherwise I'll likely be out fishing!)
My painting affliction began in 1998, just on a whim one day... after being distracted for several years by a career as a technologist and manager of a medical laboratory in the Canadian Armed Forces. I grew up in North Bay, Ontario, where I "studied" art very casually in high school. Since then my artistic endeavours had been confined mostly to doodling on the Yellow Pages or a desk blotter while talking on the phone. However, I have always been a very visually oriented person, (I'd much prefer to look at the pictures rather than actually read the book!) and I've had the photography bug most of my adult life. My choice to pursue the art of watercolour painting comes of an almost spiritual call to take on the challenge of this beautiful but unforgiving medium, and also from a life-long intrinsic desire to share with others the images I see and the feelings they evoke.
