Artway Invitational - Past Exhibits

During his lifetime, Sheldon had been drawing and painting from an early age and the only time he took off from his art were during his university years in Montreal. One of the ironies of his art career is that Sheldon is colour-blind. He therefore is always having to tone down his paintings to achieve the realism he is striving for.

In 1987, he discovered that people liked his art enough to buy it and to present, his art is in numerous private collections. Sheldon had been painting surrealistic watercolours for many years and the switch to another water-based medium was not a great leap. He has always said that acrylic painters are frustrated watercolourists at heart.

Sheldon has participated in numerous art shows over the years, both in person as well as on the internet. A group show he is most proud to have participated in was curated by Daniel E. Greene and was combined with the Olympics of Ballet, held in Jackson, Mississippi (Salon International). He and about 200 other artists got to hang their art with Degas originals.

Sheldon’s two specialities are landscapes and surrealism in acrylics on canvas and he has included these for the paintings in this exhibition. Sheldon lives and works out of his home in a northern suburb of Toronto, Canada.

He has been doing his art full time since 2013 and for more information, his website can be accessed at: www.sheldongoldmanartist.com.

This is the 4th annual show part of the world’s largest photography event, the prestigious CONTACT Photography Festival

Hosted by E. Connie Munson’s Studio by Design on behalf of an “embodied” coalition of artists and organizations who are committed to sharing the iconic which unites us in our humanity.

As people, uniquely different, yet profoundly the same, this exhibit will engage us in that age-old exploration of “Who am I? and “What does it mean to be human?” The many faces of our humanity, the human form, the spaces we inhabit and fill with our vitality and verve - these are the very amulets of our existence on this earth when all else is stripped away.

This exhibit celebrates and revels in our glorious diversity while uniting us through our: FORMS, FACES and SPACES, figuratively speaking!

I'm Amanda Busby, a mixed media artist based in Brampton, Ontario, specializing in custom pet portrait paintings. My love for animals and expressive colour comes together in each piece, capturing not just the likeness but the spirit of every furry friend I paint. From playful pups to regal cats, I aim to create joyful, eye-catching artwork that brings beloved companions to life on canvas.

Each portrait is crafted with bold brushstrokes, vivid hues, and a sense of whimsy that reflects the unique charm of every pet. Whether it’s a gift or a keepsake, I’m passionate about making art that celebrates the bond we share with our animals in a bright and heartfelt way.
