‘The Catch‘, by artist Audrey Bunt, is available at Scotiabank, courtesy of the Three Rivers Art Trail!

This mural is a snapshot of how hard and difficult the work was of being a fisherman. Catching tuna was usually the most difficult as it took the fisherman time and patience to land the fish in their small boats. Men would tie them together so they could help each other with the work which also gave stability to their small craft.

About the Artist

Her muse is the landscape and sea of the Island where the richness of the colour of the land and the calm of the blue shores inspires her, to try to capture the essence of the land. “I get an immense satisfaction from painting. In an age when noise and activity is difficult to escape, I try to paint ‘The Moment’ with light being the only actor. Painting subjects, in a window of intimacy, with no hidden meaning, and no explanation. I paint, with just the chance, that the viewer may find, for however brief a time, a space where no noise or action is required.”
