Distinguished Artist 2026
Robert Potvin
Robert is an award-winning artist born in the town of Grimsby, Ontario and
presently resides in Whitefish, Ontario.
He is largely a self-taught artist who works primarily in acrylic on board, but also
dabbles in pen and ink and other media. He has painted and been involved with
art all his life.
His love of history, antiques and the outdoors can be seen in his work, but it is by
no means limited to these subjects. Vanishing ways of life provide a great source
of inspiration.
Robert is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists, joining its Board
of Directors as a member at large in 2024. He is also a member of the Northern
Artists Gallery, and the Sudbury Art Club.
He can be found working at his studio on the shores of Fairbank Lake.
It is his complete honour to have been chosen as The Artist of Distinction for the
La Cloche Art Show 2026.
