JUICY HOME Robert Bateman, Salt Spring Island, BC
Robert Bateman, OC, OBC (born 24 May 1930) is a Canadian naturalist and painter, born in Toronto, Ontario.
Bateman was always interested in art, but he never intended on making a living from it. He was fascinated by the natural world in his childhood; he recorded the sightings of all of the birds in the area of his house in Toronto.[2] He found inspiration from the Group of Seven; he was also interested in making abstract paintings of nature.[3] It wasn't until the mid 1960's that he changed to his present style, realism.[2] In 1954, he graduated with a degree in geography from Victoria College in the University of Toronto. Afterwards, he attended Ontario College of Education. Although the stage was set for an expert wildlife artist, Bateman moved on to be a high school art/geography teacher.[1] However, he still painted in his free time. It wasn't until the 1970s and 1980s that his work started to receive major recognition. Robert Bateman's show in 1987, at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, drew a large crowd for a living artist.[citation needed]
Bateman also has approximately six books devoted solely to his paintings.[1] Bateman's decision in 1977 to produce reproductions of his paintings through Mill Pond Press has been criticized by some who feel that the reproductions are overpriced posters that cheapen the legitimate art market.[2] The reproductions are popular items, being sold in print galleries across Canada and more internationally.
Today, Robert Bateman lives in Saltspring Island in British Columbia with his second wife [4] Birgit Freybe Bateman.[2] Robert Bateman Secondary School in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Robert Bateman High School in Burlington, Ontario, and Robert Bateman Elementary School, Ottawa, Ontario are named after him.
In 2000, Bateman began the Get to Know program in British Columbia to educate young people about nature and to inspire youth to connect to the natural world.[5][6]
In 2005 Bateman volunteered for an assessment of chemicals present in his body that had a proven negative health effect. The assessment was sponsored by the organization Environmental Defence.[7]
In 2007, Robert Bateman and Birgit Freybe Bateman gifted Royal Roads University[1] with original art, giclées, photographs, sketch books and artifacts -- valued at over $11 million. Royal Roads is currently fundraising to build the Robert Bateman Centre. The Robert Bateman Centre aims to be an education centre with a range of accessible and relevant programming. The Centre will be situated in Hatley Park National Historic Site and will showcase green building technology.

New to my channel? Hi, I'm Josh Rimer - a gay travel vlogger/YouTuber (often referred to as an influencer) and TV host/producer! I visit a new gay-friendly destination every 2 weeks with my boyfriend Heath and we bring you along with us on our trips to help you figure out where you might like to go too!
Every Tuesday I upload a Travel Tuesday video where I show you everything we experienced during a day of our visit including the hotel, restaurants, and attractions. See the previous ones at
Every Thursday I upload a Hotel Hangout video from our hotel room where I tell you a story, collaborate with an LGBTQ local, or play a game with my boyfriend. See those at
I also have a 3 minute video called The Travel Tidbit which airs every day on OUTtv during (or in between) their regular programming. That TV channel reaches 1.2 million Canadians so if you live in Canada too you might have seen our travels during shows like RuPaul's Drag Race when my video takes over an entire commercial break! They also upload those on their YouTube channel at

Salt Spring Studio Tour
Stunning Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada is the home for many creative artists. This year, 2015 there are 28 studios that were available to visit on a self guided “STUDIO TOUR”. It is a great opportunity to enter the studios, talk with the artisans or sample some cheese from the factory or snack on delicious scones from the bakery. We only hit a few on a two day stay. It is worth spending a week on the island.

Just a short flight from Vancouver B.C. on a Saltspring Air floatplane, Saltspring Island is a great weekend getaway. Hastings House, a historic property overlooking the ocean, offers elegant accommodation, excellent gourmet cuisine and an Art Walk that changes yearly. The nearby Saturday Market is not to be missed as well as the smaller Tuesday Market. An Artists Guidebook leads visitors to private studios and galleries throughout the entire island.

Short on Artist Peter McFarlane | Steffich Fine Art // Salt Spring Island
Carey Newman, whose traditional name is Hayalthkin’geme, is a multi-disciplinary Indigenous artist, master carver, filmmaker, author and public speaker. Through his father he is Kwakwak’awakw from the Kukwekum, Giiksam, and WaWalaby’ie clans of northern Vancouver Island, and Coast Salish from Cheam of the Sto:lo Nation along the upper Fraser Valley. Through his mother he is a Settler of English, Irish, and Scottish heritage. In his artistic practice he strives to highlight Indigenous, social, and environmental issues as he examines the impacts of colonialism and capitalism, harnessing the power of material truth to unearth memory and trigger the necessary emotion to drive positive change. He is also interested in engaging with community and incorporating innovative methods derived from traditional teachings and Indigenous worldviews into his process.
Highlights from his career include being selected as the master carver of the Cowichan 2008 Spirit Pole, a journey that saw him travel the province of BC sharing the carving experience of carving a 20’ totem with over 11,000 people, a major commission entitled “Dancing Wind” installed at the 2010 Olympic Games, Athlete’s Village in Whistler, premiering the documentary he wrote and co-directed at the Vancouver International Film Festival as well as publishing his first book. He also continues to create for and consult with corporations, government agencies, collectors and museums around the world.
Perhaps his most influential work, The Witness Blanket, made of items collected from residential schools, government buildings and churches across Canada, deals with the subject of Truth and Reconciliation. It is now part of the collection at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Carey was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in 2017 and was named to the Order of British Columbia in 2018 and he is the current Audain Professor of Contemporary Art Practice of the Pacific Northwest at the University of Victoria.
