Garry Budyk

Gary is a Winnipeg-based nature photographer, amateur naturalist and devoted birder. With a particular fondness for the rapidly disappearing grain elevators across the province, Garry’s work inspires nostalgia for prairie life with its vast skies and wide-open spaces. His diverse landscapes range from the dramatic vistas of the prairies to the rugged wilderness of the Canadian Shield to Manitoba’s “inland seas”. We see a connection to the history of Manitoba in his photographs of old barns and prairie grain elevators, inviting viewers to relive memories and revisit their own family histories. Garry’s images of Manitoba can be found in private and corporate collections throughout North America, often providing a piece of home for those who have since moved elsewhere.
