Gary Saunders was born in Gander Bay Newfoundland and Labrador, in 1935. He attended the Newfoundland Academy of Art, studied forestry at the University of New Brunswick (B.Sc) and then to Mount Allison University where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He has been interested in exploring Nature through drawing, painting and writing, and science, his whole life. He was an illustrator for the Department of Lands and Forests in Nova Scotia, produced a number of publications for woodlot owners, and conducted art workshops at Mount Allison. In these various ways, he has been able to enjoy science and art throughout his lifetime. This work, completed in 1954, would be one of his earliest pieces.
