Paint Between the Lines
It all begins with an idea.

Welcome to “Paint Between the Lines” !
A blog all about the ups and downs as an artist living in the city of Toronto in 2024/2025.
As with all great things, its taken a long time to get this up and running. The constant juggling of all the art opportunities, working part-time and living in the wild wild north city of Toronto makes it difficult to focus on singular tasks. Although I write personally around 3-4 times a week, it is never for public consumption.
Still, it has always been a side-dream to be a writer/poet/novelist - blogger ? Not so much, but now I finally see the potential and fun of it all. Really, all the power is my hands to do whatever I want with it, and do everything I want with it I shall !
Thank you in advance for joining me on this adventure. I am excited to share photographs, drawings, paintings, sketchbook pages, events, travels and more. I’ve been doing this art thing since 2012, but it is only in Nov 2024 that I truly feel like things are just getting started.
Your attention means the world. If you are reading this, thank you so much !
