🇨🇦 Wesley Lowe says: "Toronto is my birthplace. I began drawing at a young age. Years later, around the age of 18, I bought my first set of paints. Fast forward to my beginning in the art field as a graphic designer. I was employed by two different Design studios during my career. Both studios employed my drawing and painting skills on various projects for clients, including posters, packaging, and annual reports. 

While at the studio, I learned of evening courses offered on illustration at the Ontario College of Art, and so I enrolled. My instructor, Will Davies, introduced the art of great illustrators and some of their techniques. This chance meeting would determine my career's new direction, and so, I started building a portfolio of artwork that reflected my new interests.

Eventually, I left the field of design to pursue my love for painting and drawing, and thus began a new focus as a freelance illustrator. For over 30 years, I was commissioned by publishers, magazines, studios, as well as a few Advertising agencies. All of my illustration projects were from Toronto, New York, and some European clients. During that time, I was approached to teach art and did so at a Toronto college.

Now, my journey as an artist has led me to paint a variety of subjects of interest."
