Shawn Paul Thompson Art

Product Description

Shawn Paul Thompson is an abstract contemporary painter who works with acrylic and mixed mediums. Shawn’s process begins with layered applications, which are peeled back to reveal a bigger story, feeling, or world. Shawn Paul prefers to use his palette knife and brush to build and reveal narratives in his work. Shawn Paul is always on the move and this is reflected in his art. 

Shawn Paul’s piece “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Anymore” is full of layers. A beautiful burst of pedals is how I would describe it, all coming together to form an angelic flower. This piece would compliment any room in your home, and it’s the perfect gift for the abstract art lover in your family.   

You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Anymore


Canvas the Globe

Product Description

Ariel Clark is a Canadian artist who enjoys capturing the small parts of the city through her art, whether it’s a popular landmark, or a hidden gem that locals keep secret. When Ariel travels, she not only likes to remember the trip through photos, but she encapsulates it through art.  She even takes time to paint the travels of others. 

The Toronto FlatIron building is an iconic structure, hard to miss in the heart of the city, and Ariel has painted a beautiful portrait honouring it. The rainy day adds an extra layer of emotion to the piece, making it sure to spark some conversation in your home or office.

Kryart Studio

Product Description

Kristyn Watterworth is a painter looking to bring a little more brightness into each passing day. She fell in love with painting at the age of twelve, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from York University. Travelling gives Kristyn inspiration for her paintings. She is also a teacher who helped hundreds of students in her former studio in Bayfield. It is from this experience where she pulled even more ideas for her art. This allowed Kristyn to constantly grow and mature as an artist. Currently Kristyn is focusing on animals, which leads us to our featured piece, “Gerty.”

Gerty is a groovy Giraffe who appears to have stepped right out of the psychedelic seventies. It would make the day of the giraffe or animal lover in your family.

Product Description

Aimee is a young artist from the Toronto area who seeks inspiration each day for a new painting. Aimee pulls oil paintings from her imagination and observations. Her work delves into the relationship between the natural and the spiritual, and the mundane and sublime through visual storytelling.

Her piece “Fire Inside” captures the essence of a roaring fire on a Christmas night. You can imagine sitting around the cozy flames with the family decked out in pyjamas, watching old Christmas movies, eating cookies with hot cocoa, and waiting for Santa’s arrival (don’t forget to turn off the fire so he can make it down the chimney!)
