H.W. Ledingham - About the Artist

LEDINGHAM began working in the oils very early in his artistic career. He studied under Canadian artist Arnold Meyers for a short time in Trenton, Ontario but he is primarily self-taught. LEDINGHAM has exhibited in several exhibitions as early as 1954.

In 1962 his work was shown at Wallack's Art Gallery Co. Ltd. in Ottawa, Ontario. At this time he became acquainted and was inspired by such well know Canadian artists as A.Y. Jackson, Ralph Burton, Gabriel Gely, Sheriff Scott and James Keirstead to name a few. During the late 60's LEDINGHAM showed in several galleries in Ontario and later on he began exhibiting in British Columbia.

LEDINGHAM relocated to Saskatchewan during the late 70's and operated a studio in Regina, Saskatchewan for a short time. In 1986 his work was highlighted on two television programs produced by STV "For Art's Sake" and "Good Company".

For the past decade LEDINGHAM'S artistic efforts have been concentrated on researching and designing a large home-studio located on the east bank of Pike Lake, Saskatchewan. Actual construction was begun in 1993 and largely completed in 1997.

Over the past two years LEDINGHAM has been creating a body of work that he has called 'the living sky series' which is a number of paintings depicting the fast changing skies of Saskatchewan.
