ARTIST
Stephen Outhouse (1943-2018) was a sculptor and woodcarver based in Brighton, Digby, Nova Scotia. Outhouse took up carving while stationed in Germany with the Canadian army in the early 1960s. After leaving the army, he worked as a carpenter, labourer and a mall superintendent. His early work was primarily devoted to relief carvings of local subjects and life size people. Later, his work turned to colourful birds and black and white fish – every species that can be found in Maritime waters. His work is included in many private and public collections.
