Time to leave
This year I decided to revisit an old friend that I created way back in 2007. Another big change is on the horizon and I wanted to mark that with a painting again...

Funnily enough, the Fractured Series gave me a bad wrist and shoulder! It was having to beat around 500 pieces of triangular aluminium with a square headed screwdriver. Where I get these ideas from I do not know. Was it worth it I ask?
Here are a selection of my artistic creations that didn't make the portfolio on this website. They're either tucked away somewhere dark, given away, buried in landfill or refurbished! But everyone has got to start somewhere you know. I'm actually thinking of recreating one or two of them. My eye is on the Prozac one!
What a great painting to own. It's crazy, unique and certainly a conversation starter! This is the story of how I literally stumbled over this painting on a Facebook post, became infatuated and hired a van for a 10 hour round trip to Lac-Mégantic.
In a Skype video chat, my cousin in London UK remarked on this painting hanging behind me. He said it looked like some kind of Reptilian architecture. I was quite chuffed and took that as a compliment. Here's the story behind my two 'Nightfalls'.
Who'd have thought this hefty yet elegant piece of art could also act as a sound dampening panel? I'm sure that wasn't my intention as it took several weeks to create...
Wowee! Has it really been over 5 years since I started a canvas? Like with many people across the world, 2020 made me look inwards. I just had to start creating again to record that I was still here and still alive. Small steps in creativity started with Winter's End.
And an invitation back from Hugo and Alex to the lovely Gallery 1313 on Queen Street East, Toronto to show a piece of art. This time I've chosen 'Embrace'. It's a simple piece that changes throughout the day with different lighting.
I am delighted to be part of the Latino Canadian Cultural Association's 'Beyond Our Roots' visual art exhibition. There's artists representing many countries, and I am delighted to show my Welsh/Canadian offering titled 'Lost'.
The reoccurring dream when you know your destination, but it seems like you can never reach there. I've had this dream for years on end and it still knocks me for six. "Lost' encapsulates that dream with its never-ending channels in a race to find your way out.
