The Artist Project Toronto

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as an "UNTAPPED Emerging Artist" at this year's Artist Project Toronto. This is an MMPI event, one of the largest trade show producers in the world. As international purveyors of fine art, craft, and design exhibitions, they are credited with Art Chicago™, Volta, and The Armory Show, and NEXT. 18 artists in total were chosen from nearly 500 submissions, and will be granted complimentary booths at which to sell their work during the show.

The Artist Project Toronto will take place in the Queen Elizabeth Building, Exhibition Place. The hours are as follows.
Thursday, March 3 7PM – 10PM (Opening Night Preview Party)
Friday, March 4 12AM – 9PM
Saturday, March 5 11AM – 9PM
Sunday, March 6 11AM – 6PM

The paintings in the exhibition will be from my Stereoscopy series, and will also be for sale. If you are interested in attending TEDxGuelphU, there is still space left at the simulcast ($5). The live audience has reached capacity. Those attending either will get to attend a "swanky gala" afterward. You know you want to... spots are filling up fast!

BMFA Visiting Artist Series

Here is the latest ad for the exhibition next month, from the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts. I hope you can all make it!

Artist Talk

I will be giving an artist talk about my work at the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts. As part of their Tuesday Night at the Arts Centre, I will be giving a lecture about my work, my influences, where I see the direction of my work going, my favorite colour, etc. This is happening of course, in anticipation of the exhibition "Talking Pictures" which opens the following Saturday, February 5th at 3pm. Free. All are welcome. Come on out!

Talking Pictures

February is quickly approaching, and I'm tied to my easel until then. While the show was originally meant to display the talents of three artists, it will now just showcase my work as well as the photography of artist, Erin Riley (based in Toronto). The show is titled "Talking Pictures" and both of our bodies of work compliment each other harmoniously within this theme. I am constantly investigating my relationship to photography and contemporary media as a painter, whereas Riley is a conceptual photographer whose works represent that which is beyond the aesthetic (as I understand it). It stands to be a fascinating show.

Update: As well as my Stereoscopy series, it looks like I will be showcasing some of my older works, including some video.
