My Musicians In Acrylic
I have been painting in acrylic for over 20 years. About half of my work involves musicians in performance, most of them from Toronto. Many of them are frequent performers at the Tranzac (Maryem Tollar, Jessica Stuart, James Gordon). My proposed exhibition, "Corby's Orbit", named after my 18-year-old radio show of the same name, would allow me to present portraits of some of the performers who offer me new Canadian music to air every week.
I am currently looking at a few venues.
Here are some samples:
Wally D's Birthday Jam
Sarah
Release
Reggae In The Fields
I Met Her On A Piano / Nina
Murley and Liebman
Minor Empire
JulianTaylor
The Electric Band
James Gordon - Hero Of Song (Final)
