Collector stories · Original Canadian art
A painting becomes personal when it carries a place, memory or feeling into someone’s home. These are the experiences of collectors who chose an original painting or commissioned Graham Watts to create one.
Featured commission story
Sandy Kisilevsky British Columbia · Two commissioned paintingsMy husband and I commissioned two paintings from Graham as we love his mountain and cityscape depictions of the North Shore and Whistler. Working with Graham was exceptionally easy and enjoyable. As first-time commission buyers, he seamlessly guided us through the process. The end results were even better than anticipated.
In their own words
The strongest reviews are not simply about colour or technique. They describe what a painting recalls, how it changes a room and why living with original art feels different.
Buying remotely
Laura Deans Alberta“The transaction was seamless, from initial interest to final payment and shipping. Having moved away from Vancouver, we are thrilled to have a little piece of the mountains in our home.”
Living with the view
Maureen & Andrew Washington State“Climbing up the stairs and seeing the painting gives me the same feeling as hiking up a trail that gives way to a magnificent view.”
Building a collection
Kirk MacNeil Ontario“I own five of Graham’s original paintings. His eye-popping colour schemes draw me in, and the wildlife and landscapes bring back fantastic memories of Western and Northern Canada.”
A new Vancouver home
Nicole Vassh British Columbia“We were looking for pieces that made our place feel like we brought the beautiful outside indoors, and Graham’s paintings were perfect.”
A familiar place
Kathleen Collin British Columbia“I feel the sand under my toes, hear the gulls and smell the ocean. He captured one of our favourite places in Vancouver—and the feelings and sensations that belong to it.”
A personal commission
Mike Shuh Ontario“I ordered a personalized commission painting. It looks stunning. Dealing with Graham was easy and professional.”
