HARRISTON – The Minto Arts Council is presenting its first 2019 art show, World Through a Brush by Stephen Cole from Jan. 3 to Feb. 16.
The Artists’ Reception will take place on Jan. 3 from 6 to 8pm.
The show will take place at the Harriston Public Library.
Cole was born in Wales and raised in Kincardine, Ontario. He began painting in high school and attended Sheridan College in Oakville, earning a diploma in graphic design.
He has developed a successful career as a designer working all over the Toronto area.
Although graphic design is his career Cole has never stopped painting.
Creating art is his way of expressing thoughts and experiences. He travels the world and brings back inspiration from wherever he goes. His website spcole.com shows varied and accomplished canvasses ranging from exotic animals to land, sea and cityscapes.
His works have dimension and depth, inviting the viewer to enter and explore.
His choice of acrylic medium allows him to explore different techniques from soft washes to harsh brush strokes. His paintings are built like a stage, starting from the background and working up to the main players in the scene.
