Live lot 22

Born in London, England, and raised in rural Ontario, Finn O’Hara grew up immersed in the landscapes of the Bruce Trail, the cold lakes of the Canadian Shield, and the northern lights. City life eventually pulled him to desks and boardrooms, until the call of a white-throated sparrow at a traffic light reawakened those dulled senses.

Through photography, O’Hara seeks to reunite the urban and rural, exploring our connection to and place within the natural world. His work is held in the permanent collections of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the Scotiabank Fine Art Collection, and the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro.
