ROLAND GISSING

Canadian (1895 - 1967)

Canada made an impression on Gissing upon his arrival in this country in 1913 at the age of 18. Gissing wanted to be a cowboy. He travelled from Alberta to California and back on horseback, sketching and painting as he went. Gissing began selling his work and supporting himself solely by painting. Gissing's loved steam locomotives and spent time building these scale trains.
