Lloyd Pretty is a self-taught artist, born in Chapel Arm, Newfoundland. At an early age, Lloyd showed artistic promise. Art supplies were hard to find and the realities of life forced him to take other jobs to earn a living. His experiences varied from lumbering to seafaring on an oil tanker. During his adventures at sea, Lloyd's interest in art was reawakened. He visited art galleries in every port of call and took up painting as a hobby.

This piece of art is called "Island Home" was painted in 1991 and is numbered 70/400.
