As both an artist and a shipwright by trade, Tony Grove has spent the past 20 years combining his skills in wooden boat building and restoration with a deep passion for painting marine art. The urgency of fulfilling his artistic vision in tandem with the natural decline of wooden boats along Canada’s coasts drives his work — a compelling effort to document and preserve their stories before these historic vessels vanish. Through his dual lens as a craftsman and painter, Grove seeks to leave behind a legacy of art that honours the heritage of maritime craftsmanship
