Bio

Cory grew up in a small town on the west coast of Canada, surrounded by the very nature that inspired him to become an artist. Cory has been happy to call Houston his home now for 12 years with his wife and two children.

Cory's passion for art first blossomed as a young boy as he painted along with the late Bob Ross during his 'The Joy of Painting' television episodes.  Since then, Cory has focused on refining two signature styles. One is ‘Abstract Landscapes’ featuring abstract forms found in nature combined with contemporary / decor concepts. The other is bold, vibrant and animated pop art - his most recent work showcases a variety of ‘Quirky Dogs’ featured at Crust Pizza Co’s chain of restaurants.

Artist's Statement

Inspired by nature, I am particularly drawn to how natural light defines shape, color and depth.  How it compels me to stop and observe. How it challenges me to look beyond expectation.  I have found that the most amazing moments in nature are a synthesis of random events, yet appear so spectacularly planned. My appreciation for this profound beauty has continued to influence the way that I paint and express myself.

I work layer by layer abstraction into a definitive vision.  Each unique piece emits a feeling of the familiar and the allure of the unknown.
