Oil on canvas.
24x30"
Built in 1895 by Curry, Baker and Company Architects, the Philip Jamieson Clothier Outfitter at 2 Queen Street West, looks brand-new after six years of restoration. The original address was 180 Yonge Street. It was later purchased and became known as the FW Woolworth Building from 1913. With new ownership drastic modifications included covering the facade completely with bland grey cladding. A succession of short-term retailers filled the space after Woolworth’s departed in 1980.
With new ownership in 1985, planning began for restoration of the aging landmark building. The uninteresting cladding was peeled back and the process of salvaging and reconstruction began. Additional floors were added above by Zeidler Partnership Architects, assisted by the restoration firm ERA Architects.
Born and living in Toronto ON, my career path started with editorial illustration, followed by a successful career in graphic design. These past few years I have returned to exploring my passion for producing fine art. Oil on canvas are my preferred media. My art portfolio includes montages inspired by personal experiences travelling the world. I have also produced a broad collection of Canadian themed art.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Looking is physical, and overlooking common. Seeing is an involved mental process of perception. I want my art to take my audience deep into scenes that have resonated with me. I encourage my audience to take the time to see, observe, study, connect and their “take away” to be the conscious practice of finding joy and peace in their surroundings, whether travelling or walking through their immediate neighbourhood.
Quick sketches and watercolours are the planning steps before putting oil paint to canvas. Our memories of our fondest experiences, are always exaggerated as being more exciting, more colourful, “more” than the reality. When interpreting my perceptions with my art I use a generous margin of artistic license, exaggerate colours, play of light and shadow, perspective, for the “more than life” result.
