Michael Flaherty was born in Newfoundland and subsequently spent much of his childhood getting lost in the woods. As an adult he has lived alone for three months on a deserted island, crisscrossed Canada and the United States by bicycle, and inhabited abandoned communities in his home province, all as part of his artistic practice.

Flaherty studied ceramics at NSCAD University (BFA) and University of Regina (MFA) and has taught at numerous institutions across the country. His work was recognized nationally when he was a semi-finalist for the Sobey Art Award (2011) and a finalist for the RBC People’s Choice Award (2013). He won the Large Year Award from Visual Artists Newfoundland and Labrador in 2013.

Flaherty resides in Port Union, Newfoundland, where he has established Wild Cove Pottery. His studio activities are varied, including pottery, sculpture, installation, and performance.

As part of our Critically Acclaimed Artists Program, Michael is teaching “Mud, Sun and Forest”. A ceramic course experimenting with digging natural clay, foraging natural objects, and using a solar powered kiln.

Making Waves: Art on the Island is a fine art and craft auction presented by Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre to be held at The Barn on the beautiful, historic Ministers Island near Saint Andrews, New Brunswick.

This curated silent auction features exceptional works by 50 acclaimed contemporary local, Canadian and International artists. Art sales are split 50:50 between the artist and Sunbury Shores to promote the arts in New Brunswick and raise funds to support Sunbury’s outstanding programs and exhibitions.

The event will also feature delicious food, wine and beer, plus live music, a raffle with fantastic prizes and a live auction portion of the evening. Ideal for collectors, art patrons, curators, and community members, Making Waves is an opportunity to discover high quality pieces by contemporary artists while supporting the oldest Canadian arts & nature centre in our pursuit of turning Saint Andrews into the #1 destination in Eastern Canada for artists to learn, network, integrate arts & nature and exhibit.

Artist submissions are open until June 22nd!
