Max Jacquiard has become one of the most respected artists in Canada in his specialized field of painting images of trains. A printer by trade, Max has been painting steam trains exclusively since 1981. These powerful acrylic images on canvas conjure up visions of the strength and romance of the steam trains that have been a part of his life since his early childhood in both Flin Fon, Manitoba, and his later move to British Columbia.

Max is a member of the 'Society of Steam Era Artists of America'. The evocative nature of Max Jacquiard's paintings have captured the imaginations of steam buffs across Canada and the United States. His paintings now grace the walls of many North American homes and corporate offices.
