WF Lishinski
Hamilton Ont. Canada
I was born in Hamilton and grew up in the area. I had a very early interest in art as a child and was influenced by my Uncle Bruce Emilson , who was a very successful artist in the early 70's. I also have several cousins who are successful artists. I have always been passionate (obsessive) about my "Hobbies. I bowled 10 pin most of my life , at a professional level and had a Lifelong passion over Pool/Snooker. I competed in the 2001 Canadian Snooker Championship and finished in the top 16 in Canada. I retired my cue for a paintbrush in July 2001 when I started Painting for the first time since Public School .
I have always been a very” Personally Spiritual” individual who has a Love for Nature that goes back to my Earliest Childhood Memories . As an Artist I want my Paintings to be ; influenced by my Surroundings , focusing on Colour and Light , and Convey the Landscape’s Relationship to it’s Creator , through my Interpretation of the Numinous Atmosphere EVERWHERE !!!
Needless to say this new found Passion for Art has taken over my life . I'm an H.V.A.C technician by day , and an Artist always..
