My creativity has virtually no bounds. If I can make someone cry or laugh, I've done my job.  - Carl Parker

My interest in becoming an artist began when I was around the age of 8. I was lounging one day on my bedroom floor while reading a Spider-Man comic. I was fascinated by the drawings of Spider-Man and the other characters. I decided to try my hand at drawing the characters. I was quite pleased with the outcome. I remember showing my sister. She said it was a good job. This encouragement was great. I kept drawing until the age of 36 and then took that to painting. I created a piece with a line of crows on a wire, posted it on Facebook, and it sold. I have never looked back since and I am fortunate to enjoy a very fruitful and lovely art career with collectors in Canada, USA, UK, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. I enjoy painting crows, boat scenes, landscapes, figures, and other subjects which peak my interest. I am self-taught with influences being Francis Bacon, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Paul Gaugin and W. Joe Innis.
I have shown in Toronto, Florence, Italy, Paris, France. To date, I have collectors in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. 

"If my poetry aims to do anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."
