It is how I speak to the world. Over a decade\u00a0ago inspiration struck and I started\u00a0to create textures in my paintings for people\u00a0to touch. My hope\u00a0is others will\u00a0enjoy the different textures on their fingertips or to imagine the scale of a tree, a mountain or the perspective in our environment. \u00a0So I felt the blind might directly benefit from my work and I have shared many of my paintings with patrons of the CNIB.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

As an artist, the idea of not being able to see paintings, and the beauty around me in general, brings me deep sadness. This sadness created a desire inside of me to somehow include the unsighted with viewing my artwork.<\/p>\n
It was this question that inspired me to create paintings with\u00a0textures \u00a0that might in some way provide a shape or feeling to things. For many years I pondered the possibilities as I created art and earned\u00a0a living as an artist.\u00a0\u00a0I experimented with different ideas along the way. Then, in May 2014, I tried a new technique which\u00a0finally provided the answer.\u00a0I was so excited that I finally came up with something that I feel, in some small way will make a difference for those\u00a0who can\u2019t see as we do.<\/span><\/p>\n
I make a tiny living selling my artwork but I didn’t want to sell these paintings to the unsighted, I wanted to gift them somehow. So I went to my local CNIB office in Barrie, Ontario and told them my idea and they had a great plan to hang my paintings in their locations so the unsighted may touch my paintings when ever they visit. My long term plan is to create one painting for each CNIB location across Canada well over 50 locations.\u00a0\u00a0I have already created works in this technique and some now proudly hang where adults and children who have lost their ability to see can experience art through their fingertips. \u00a0I know that there are many more people in this country that need this\u00a0opportunity. Since there are over 50 locations across Canada, I estimate it will take me over 20 years to install a painting in each location at my current pace and yet I am unwavering in my plan to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nVideo & Media<\/h3>\n
