Victoria Elaine McIntosh peacefully explores the spectrums of creating beauty as she applies her natural abilities and commitment to perfection. Victoria visualizes the image whether she is drawing, painting on canvas, working with many raw materials and mastering several medium types.

Being a pilot and living in Manitoba Wayne was exposed to some amazing scenery while flying in Northern Manitoba, Nunavut and NWT. Seeing the Barren Lands through his office window (wind screen) with amazing Northern Lights at times have helped in the creation of many of the oil paintings as you will see. Although many paintings have a mountain scene, that is strictly due to the admiration for these wonders. http://www.uniquelymanitoba.ca//virtu/member/WayneLetkeman
