Franklin Beecham
“Painting is a spiritual expression where the artist becomes the creator. It transmits cultural messages through interaction with the viewer evoking an emotional response.
My travels from Europe to Asia, North and most recently, South America, have taught me to appreciate a variety of art forms, infinite colours and the randomness of nature. I apply these experiences to my own works with an array of many styles and techniques, implementing my own sense of colour and stroke.
A professional graphic designer since 1979, I returned to painting after a lengthy absence creating a growing catalogue of work at my home studio. Currently listed at several online art galleries with sales of paintings that are now in private collections across Canada. the USA and Malaysia.

Steven Wolk
Steven Del Wolk was born in Fremont, Nebraska but moved to Toronto when he was 6 weeks old. At an early age Steve began drawing free hand; however he did not truly show his artistic genius until his mid forties.
Beginning with pencil sketches of animals and progressing to pastels, acrylics and water colours, Steven's paintings are unique, and breathtaking. When viewing his paintings of gardens you feel as though you are standing in the middle of the garden and can almost hear the buzzing of bees, the flutter of butterfly wings and the chirping of birds.
Steven's work has been shown in many venues. He has received rave reviews wherever he shows which has resulted in several commissions.
