At first glance there may appear to be the organic forms of a lakeside pine undulating in the breeze, but closer inspection reveals a cluster of differing wildlife rising into the sunset sky.
C.M. Duffy holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His paintings are hanging in private collections in the United States and Canada and he has accomplished many public works in his city of Toronto.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My current work blooms from the buds of daydreams that reveal an observant love of nature and overlooked liminal worlds where the real becomes surreal and illusion delves into allusion. These visual musings are visibly inspired by Mother Nature’s own handiwork, her creative cast of characters, natural settings and stories of cunning and deceit. The work often playfully explores themes of camouflage, illusion, trickery and survival to impress upon the viewer an acknowledgement of humankind’s limited perceptions and delusions. The trickery and visual wit in the work act as a reminder that we must be vigilant and cautious in our obsessive seeking of objective truth and concrete understanding because there still are slices of magic left for us in this world to discover.
