About: George McLean
George McLean was born in Toronto in 1939. He attended the Northern Vocational School which McLean graduated from in 1958. He turned down a scholarship for the Ontario College of Art to pursue his dream of painting animals.
He sold his first painting in 1960, for $50.
By 1961, aged 22, McLean was painting for a living, having American animal painter Bob Kuhn as a mentor.
In 1963 Toronto advertising executive and art collector Budd Feheley started promoting McLean's art career, and would be his art dealer for the next eleven years.
In 1969, George moved to Grey county where McLean had family relatives and brought a 100 acre farm with a century stone house near Bognor. He has allowed parts of the farm, (which is subject material for many of his paintings), to return to the wild. His paintings are in private collections across North American and appear in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Canada. His paintings can be viewed locally at the Tom Thomson Art Gallery. Two books of his art work have been published Paintings from the Wild: The Art and Life of George McLean in 1981 and George McLean: The Living Landscape in 2010.
