ROSS LOSIER

Ross P. Losier, Born February 7, 1959, Oshawa, Ontario Canada.

I started drawing and painting at the early age of ten, after being inspired by John Walters, a family friend and artist from England. "I remember being totally awestruck that someone could create something which looked like the real thing; From just paper and paint and the power of their imagination. From that moment I was hooked and I knew that I wanted to do the same." Little did I know that at the time it would take years and thousands of hours of practise to become as good as this artist!

My interest in art continued throughout my education, in grade school, high school and two years of Graphic Arts in College.

People and their unique individuality, places and times that have come and gone are a large influence in my artwork.

In order to portray the image's in a unique end result than would be expected; pushing each medium to its extreme! When it results in something interesting or pleasing it becomes its own reward. When works turn out less than expected, a lesson has been learned and in turn applied to future pieces.

I am currently focusing my work toward the medium of pencil. In ranges of 5H Hard through 6B Soft. The range of Black and White contrast in shading has an interest and difficulty which appeals to my sense of artistic challenge.

All my works are available for rent to corporations, offices and restaurants.

Orders for limited editions, commissions and or original pieces available upon request.
