Explore the Maritimes with Halifax Art!
Halifax, Nova Scotia, is our home and it constantly inspires us and our art. This city has a thriving and diverse art scene that celebrates the city’s history, culture, and coastal beauty. At Joy and Fury Art, we are proud to be part of this creative community, offering unique art inspired by the landscapes, maritime heritage, and local flair of Halifax. Check out Halifax to Dartmouth collection, featuring many local icons.
The Clock Tower
One of Halifax’s most iconic buildings, the clock tower at the base of citadel hill has inspired countless art pieces. Maureen absolutely loves the clock tower, and has made pieces like the Happy Halifax Town Clock, Welcome to Halifax, and Happy Hali-days!
From Wild to Traditional Art
We love to make wild art pieces inspired by Halifax landmarks, like Greg’s Attack on Halifax series with the Smoke Stacks of Dartmouth, The lighthouse on George’s Island, and The Halifax Ferry. But we also love making things in traditional art styles like Maureen’s HMCS Sackville and her Halifax Ferry sticker . Whether you're drawn to the local art galleries in town, or enjoy browsing Halifax artists’ online, the variety is endless. With pieces that explore everything from the city’s vibrant waterfront to its lush greenery, you can always find something that resonates.
Celebrating the Coast and Culture
Halifax’s proximity to the sea heavily influences its artwork. You’ll find that maritime art and seascapes are a common theme in many local artists' collections, including our own. Some of the most iconic sights in Halifax are our colourful homes, celebrated with our Happy Homes collection!
Supporting Local Artists
One of the best things about exploring Halifax art is the strong support for local artists. Halifax boasts numerous art markets and events like Nocturne, where the community comes together to celebrate creativity in all its forms. At Joy and Fury Art, we embrace this by participating in local initiatives that champion the artistic spirit of the city.
We love Halifax, and we hope you do too!
