New Work: a selection of oil paintings from 2023 -- Opens September 16th

Today I’ll be delivering a selection of my new paintings to Village Studios in Stratford, Ontario.

Now that they’re all framed and lined up in the studio, I feel ready to send them out into the world. More than ever, with speculations of the AI threat (or boon) to artists abounding, I think art should be experienced in person. There is a thingness to paintings that simply isn’t apparent in a digital image. Transparency and opacity of paint, the texture, the scale—all fail to translate with any accuracy to two dimensions. The balance to AI is definitely to be found in the tangible world.

I invite you to view these new paintings in real life from this weekend, September 16, until the end of the month in beautiful Stratford, Ontario. Maybe take in a live play at the Stratford Festival. In the meantime, if there is anything you see here on the website that piques your interest, please contact the gallery during this preview period for more information: Village Studios, 24 Downie Street Stratford, Ontario (519)271-7231
