DREAMS
OF GLORY: |
The Thousand Islands region of Ontario was the perfect backdrop for a childhood filled with adventure for Richard DeWolfe, an artist who still identifies strongly with rural life. The forests, fields and of course the mighty St. Lawrence River, made the wonders of nature come alive for him. And the frozen ponds and lakes that were always close by provided constant fun on the ice for generations of children, skates on their feet, hockey sticks in their hands, dreaming of that perfect goal. Richard DeWolfe is a self-taught professional artist working in both fine art and illustration. His art has enjoyed a great deal of popularity and acceptance ever since his first one-man show at the age of eighteen. That show was a sell-out, supplying the young artist with commissions and launching a twenty-five year career as an illustrator, during which he created paintings for major international corporations including General Motors, Pepsi-Cola, Sears, Labatt's and Sony. The artist has participated in many art shows, including the Wildlife Habitat Canada Stamp Competition, the Wye Marsh Festival, and the Annual Exhibition of Canadian Artists and Photographers in Communication. His original paintings hang in private and corporate collections in Europe, the United States and across his native Canada. Together with his wife, Mary, Richard lives on a horse farm in central Ontario, where he can study and paint horses and rural life as well as the wildlife which surrounds them. We are delighted to be able to present Richard DeWolfe's wildlife, water bird, and nostalgic country art, which is now available for licensing for the very first time. Richard DeWolfe's art is recommended for home decor products and accessories as well as stationery products and giftware. For more information, please contact Lance J.
