"For
me painting is about my obsession with the mysterious and the
beautiful. The product is a work of art which may be abstract,
representational or any combination of these qualities but it can only
ever be its own reality. They constitute a record of my meditations."
"A Walk along the Coast Early on the Seventh Day" watercolour (9.5" x 28.75") private collection.

George Horan Bio.
George Horan was born in New Brunswick but has lived in Newfoundland
since 1956. He studied painting, drawing, sculpture and
printmaking through Memorial University of Newfoundland Extension
Services, where he has also taught Portrait Painting and Life Drawing.
Curators have described Horan’s expressive paintings as “tempestuous
and sensuously messy”. His work is included private and corporate
collections throughout Canada, Brazil, the United States, England, and
France.
A dedicated advocate for the arts, Horan is a member of the Resource
Centre for the Arts in St. John’s, the Artist’s Coalition of
Newfoundland and Labrador, and has served on various councils for
Canadian Artists Representation/Le front des artistes canadiens
(CARFAC).
His logos and prints have been featured in numerous publications for
the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of Newfoundland and
Labrador.
