About Justin

Justin works primarily in pastel, charcoal. and graphite – his favourite subject matter is the human face and form.

“Great paintings and drawings communicate to us at an emotional level. Form, line and light are the main tools I work with. Regardless of the subject, style or media, the one constant, tying all of my work together, is an attempt to translate what we see as lights into a 2 dimensional piece.”

Justin is a senior signature member (SFCA) with the Federation of Canadian artists and an Elected Member (SCA) with the Society of Canadian artists.
