JoEllen Brydon was born in Toronto and grew up in the farming community of Cavan township, Ontario, Canada.    Her vibrant paintings, in oil and acrylics, tell the day to day stories of people she meets as well as tales of her ancestors rooted in County Tyrone,  Northern Ireland,  and in her beloved Cavan hills, Ontario. Through out her career Brydon has worked on paintings and installations that explore buried stories and long forgotten local histories.

My father was the first in our town to issue licenses around the time of moving from horses to cars. Monsieur Mathiew would often drive around the corner shouting, “whoa, whoa, whoa”. We all ran out of the way. He had to drive into the ditch or he would have gone in the lake. Mama was not happy with Papa for giving Monsieur Mathiew his licence. But Papa was not a good driver either.
