Sylvio Gagnon |
His desire to paint surfaced during the seventies. This Canadian artist has worked tenaciously to perfect his technique and allow his talent to find its course, without any formal guidance or coaching. As he met and mingled with professional artists, Sylvio Gagnon found his vocation. He readily admits the influence of the Group of Seven on his pictorial evolution, one that has helped him refine his personal style. |
Jim Gummerson |
Canadian artist Jim Gummerson went to Sheridan College of applied arts under the Illustration program. "It was then and there I gained not only my knowledge from the incredible instructors there and their program but also my confidence. Its a funny thing that I thought I was going to have a real rough time learning the basic fundamentals of art but to my surprise, learned I might have been better than I thought. After leaving college I set out in the Illustration business, and had a pretty good experience with it for many years. I worked with ad agencies, freelanced, and worked with several major companies to produce artwork for Advertising purposes. The problem was, something in my head kept wanting to paint for myself. Its a funny thing that you cant run away from who you are, or it just haunts you for the rest of your life". |

George Likakis |
His paintings are filled with natural images mostly from Canada and the vast Greek open seas as well as from other parts of the world, deriving from his own photography, something that he takes pride in. George Likakis finds his art form as a tremendous inner exposure of his own world and a strong expressionism towards the human ability to capture art in a deeper vision. Currently he works right from his private studio in Ontario Canada. If you happen to be in Toronto area do not hesitate to call George Likakis for a private viewing on available pieces. |
Bert Liverance |
Each painting is a celebration of one of nature's most delicate gifts. That's why they're big and bold. I want to make sure they command the attention they deserve. Flowers talk to me and I try and talk back through my paintings. I am still captivated by the diversity of flowers, their shapes and colors .... an endless supply of inspiration.
My oil paintings are large, typically 36" x 48", and take from 3-6 months to complete. I capture the bold colors, light, and shadow in a hyper realistic style to make the flowers come off the canvas. Over the last year or so I have also been painting in the Encaustic medium. Like my Oils, my Encaustics emphasize the bold colors, light and shadows but with a looser style. My Encaustics have a vibrancy all their own as a result of light interacting with the colored wax to yield a whole new look..that are'always in bloom. |

Joanne Victoria Moore |
Aboriginal artist Joanne Victoria Moore was born in Toronto, Ontario on December 30th, 1956. Growing up in the city, Joanne was not able to identify with her native roots and culture until later in life. In 1993, after the death of her grandmother, Joanne began sharing with her mother Joan Irene Moore a journey of healing and reconnection to their native heritage.
Joanne's journey has taken her back to Northern Ontario, the birthplace of her grandparents, and the Shawanigaw Reserve where her grandmother Amanda Desmaison grew up as a child and later as a young woman began to paint the picturesque landscapes of the north. Today Joanne Victoria Moore is a Member of the Art On Main artist collective in North Bay Ontario. Her work is currently exhibited at the Capitol Centre and the Art On Main Gallery in North Bay Ontario. |
