Orcan Art & Design

While staying in the Placentia area, be sure to see the work of local Newfoundland artist, Christopher Newhook.

(Arts & Culture, Design Arts, Fine art, Illustration/ graphic design, Photography)
Christopher is a freelance visual artist who has worked professionally in a variety of art media for over 20 years. His artwork has been shown in various solo and group exhibitions throughout Canada, and his distinctive work has been sold to visitors from around the world. He has contributed artwork to various books and magazines, and has designed many posters, cards, murals and interior displays.

You will sometimes find Christopher's work in your pocket or purse. Christopher was chosen to design the commemorative Newfoundland 25 cent piece for Canada’s 125th Anniversary coin series. As a trained graphic artist and photographer he also works in the field of publishing, fine art consulting, and set design. Christopher moves with ease from the easel to camera and computer, blending the qualities of each medium to create special perceptions of his favourite subject: the natural history of the Cape Shore. His expressive and sometimes quietly haunting work shows a special fondness of Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve. He teaches art, delivers lectures and slide presentations to local schools and community centres focusing on art as an important form of expression.

Christopher is a leader and promoter of the thriving art community in the Placentia area and has been appointed to several positions on art critique boards. His business Orcan Art Design, is well know within the art community. He has recently built a new studio with a beautiful view of the Orcan River in the historic section of Placentia and now offers studio tours (by appointment only please: 709 227-3409).
