Rob Buckland-Nicks, owner of The Flight of Fancy,
studied sculpture and painting at St. Martin's
School of Art in London, England. He emigrated
to Bear River in the 1970s. Through content
isolation on Nova Scotia's coastline, he developed
an interest in combining birds and stones, either
by describing the profile of a small stone with
the profile of a bird, or interpreting a suggested
landscape in the surface of a larger stone with
birds in motion.
As many as thirty semi-transparent layers of
acrylic paint are used to give these birds a
sense of release from the stone. When the birds
leave, only the landscape remains.
