All around us, and within us, is only vibration and waves, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small. Vibrations in a huge void!
THE EXISTENTIAL ART GALLERY
Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario
Through my art, my aim is to capture the layers of nature that resonate in my soul. I paint nature’s vastness, I capture the beauty, and I harness its power at the same time.
For me creativity is a rather personal experience as opposed to painting for the satisfaction of somebody else, it is more a matter of making my little contribution to the continuous river of human expression.
I seek to capture the different personalities of my subjects and express those idiosyncrasies that are unique to tell their stories.
It is my curiosity and the desire to decipher, understand and organize the shapes and colours that motivate me to paint.
I look for interesting shapes, pattern and light in the landscape. The way the angle of the light hits the corner of a rock, or the complex patterns formed by snow on an evergreen, pebbles on a shoreline, all these inspire me.
This Scarborough historical marker, The McCowan Log Home, is located in Thompson Park at Lawrence and Brimley, perhaps familiar to folks who have taken their kids to the playgrounds and other recreational opportunities located in the park.
The Guild, as it came to be known, expanded both the main building, increased the number of outbuildings, increased its holdings to cover 500 acres, and spanned almost two and a half kilometers of coastline along Lake Ontario.
The 800 year old ossuary, or cemetery, was inadvert unearthed when soil was being removed in preparation of an overpass for Highway 401 in 1956.
Young students don’t always enjoy the possibility of excursions to an art gallery so bringing original art and historical examples to students right in their own educational institution is a bonus to their education.
… a name coined by Scarborough renowned artist Doris McCarthy, sits sedately on a plot of land, now part of the Ontario Heritage Trust, (…). It has become a property used for “Artists in Residence” programs administered by the trust.
Nestled at the edge of the forest within a stone’s throw of the beautiful Guild Inn Estate’s main building, is a tiny gem – the new Clark Centre for the Arts.
