Art Auction with Jack Reck
We invite you to join us for an evening with Jack Reck
The West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation is proud to present a catalogue of work by local artist, Jack Reck. Through the generous donation of works spanning his artistic career, Jack has made available, for auction, 44 original watercolour paintings representing his travels.
A native of Switzerland and a Canadian since 1954, Jack now calls Parry Sound home. Retirement from a career in the culinary arts provided Jack with an opportunity to pursue his love of the fine arts. Mainly self-taught, he has also attended various workshops with well known artists, such as Jeanne Dobie, Carlton Plummer, and Max Muller at the Rigling Art School in Sarasota, Florida.
Jack's paintings have found homes in Europe, Britain, Australia, Indonesia, and many parts of Canada and the United States. He has won awards from the Florida Keys Watercolour Society and the Marathon Art Guild, to name a few, and as a member of The Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, he was juried into the 2000 Annual “Clear Waters” Exhibition.
Living and travelling in Europe, Canada, United States, the Bahamas, and South America has greatly enriched his appreciation for the beauty that exists all around us. Brush in hand, he portrays some of that splendour as seen through his eyes and his intuition.
The West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation invites you to join us on Monday, July 17th, 2023 at the Stockey Centre (7pm-9pm) to enjoy the unique opportunity to see and bid on Jack’s work and hear, from the artist, the story of his journey in watercolour.
