Connecting art with viewersTrying to visually capture our amazing world has always been my fascination. I have explored concepts and tried to make sense of things through 2D and 3D art.

My hope is to find a gallery who can represent my art and save me time to create

HUGH BLACKMAN ART HUGHBLACKMAN.COM

My artistic journey...I grew up in a family of musicians and artists and seemed to always have a stringed instrument or paint brush in my hands. My early art influences and instruction were from Saskatchewan artists Mac Hone and Molly Lawrence and BC artist Flora Snowdon. I studied art formally at Emily Carr University of Art and Design and then Simon Fraser University. At present I have reconnected with Emily Carr.

A few examples of my paintings...

Over the years I have tried to carve out time in a busy life to create art. My mind and body are in a trance like meditative state and the creative energy is an addictive feeling. I have always found it hard to part with my creations and over

the years have sold and loaned my art to ‘good homes’. I love that people appreciate the images and I am honoured that they find wall space for my art!
