Inspiration within a City

My ultimate goal as an artist is to inspire people environmentally and politically to become more healthy and aware of their natural surroundings and relationships.


My medical text books fuse symbiotically with my visual art. My work does develop like cells and cities progress. Built slowly over time, adding and subtracting.


I am inspired to create by immunologists, environmentalists, political artists and the health of my own body, others and our ecology. This is why my paintings often become stagnant for months or years, then i decide to re-visit the concept with updated information.

As an artist in Hamilton, Ontario i would like to see more challenging concepts in terms of confronting the politicians, encouraging positive medical research, promoting idea's of environmental benefit for our escarpment, bay, water and air quality. Let's create work to inform the mayor we want to tax Stelco, Dofasco more on their pollution. We are suffering from lung diseases, immune deficiencies because of their toxic smog.

Problem to a Solution

My problems are solutions to other problems. Let me explain. As a visual artist in a considerably large city i am always trying to brainstorm ways to display my work. (Not even sell it). Despite the amount of times that i Impose to galleries and business owners an exhibition involving one piece or an entire series i am rejected by cold hearts. I currently wonder if i find it humorous or disturbing. Sometimes i am led on by galleries or business owners with consent to display work but it hasn't worked for me in the past 6 months.

The problems that i have found are turning into solutions. I will call the following points 'Indications'.

I often attend Art Crawls. Afterwards i find myself very inspired although i haven't necessarily seen any inspiring art or spoken to anyone prolific or progessive.

Actually i spoke to a person of the opposite caliber. A rather interesting character caught my attention, my time and my conversation. They soon disappointed me with an invitation to something extremely illegal, when i strongly declined this person proceeded to accost me requests to use me as an 'artistic' model. I was further from compliant.

I am inspired by my favorite shop. Mixed Media An art supply store, not limited to competitors ideals of displaying mass produced commodities to sell. I am happy to see political / environmental art exhibiting ex: You Me Gallery

I am young but i have had more health complications than older people i know. This confinement to sleep, to recuperation, forced self pampering initially (in childhood) led me to my calling - art. I had to entertain my mind, since my body was weak. I create with my hands and my brain while my cells reproduce within themselves.

I have always voted green but once again the liberal won candidacy. So i am inspired to paint more political work.

I read medical textbooks because i sometimes feel stagnant as a painter. My sweetheart pushes me towards my purpose. My friends advise me to stay with my art. My family encourages my talent.



I am moving towards a breakthrough.
