In 1980, a friend of McCarthy’s was advising Syncrude in Fort McMurray, and invited McCarthy to come and paint at their operations. In addition to visiting and painting the oil sands operations in northern Alberta, she travelled a few hours north to Fort Chipewyan, a small hamlet located on the western tip of Lake Athabasca.
“Twice Around the World: Works by Doris McCarthy” comes to Heffel from a private collector and personal friend of the artist, committed to the promotion of McCarthy’s legacy. The majority of works included were acquired directly from McCarthy’s Estate in 2019, and since then, the inspired patron has donated more than 400 artworks to the University of Toronto Scarborough’s Doris McCarthy Gallery. The thoughtful division of the collection ensures McCarthy’s work is comprehensively represented in the public domain and accessible to scholars, art professionals and the community. Heffel is honoured to present a select group of works from this important collection for private collectors to embrace and enjoy.
