PAINTINGS |
Michael D. Nelson,
Paintings [5 Parts]
Nelson: "I have recently been inspired
by my travels in Amsterdam and London, and by my experience of Toronto's
night life."
"I paint both the highs and lows of life. I want to show the exquisite
cityscapes and the vivid party scenes -- but I don't want to shy away from
the very real undertones of depression and violence that are part of city
life."
Winter, 2002

Valiquette), Club 2. Poem by Shawn Valiquette, inspired by Nelson's Hold
