# About me

Hello, I'm Rob, nice to meet you! Please allow me to introduce myself.

I am a painter and visual artist living in Guelph, Ontario, currently working primarily in acrylics on canvas. Recently, I attended the Haliburton School of The Arts, where I was enrolled in the Visual and Creative Arts Diploma program, with a specialization in Drawing & Painting. This campus is affiliated with Sir Sanford Fleming College and is located in the beautiful town of Haliburton, in Ontario’s Highlands, about three hours north-west of Toronto.

I work primarily in acrylic paint on canvas, mostly using brushes and palatte knives. Often, the unpredictability of the knives allows room for productive mistakes; that surrender of control can lead to marks I may not have made, otherwise.

My work is my favourite form of introspection and my most productive form of escapism. It’s said that in every picture, there are a thousand words; and so perhaps in each painting, there are a thousand thoughts, and with each new direction I go with my paintings different thoughts emerge. These changes represent, to me, an examination, and when necessary, reconstruction. In each new piece there are memories and reminders from the subconscious of things half-forgotten & half-resolved; an existential to-do list I am compelled to continue working on.

Thank you, for your time and your interest! Feel free to reach out to me, you can email me at rob.a.stock@gmail.com, and I am also on Facebook. Also, for a look at more of my work, you can check out my website; there are some progress pictures of most of the paintings I post, so you can see the painting come to life, step-by step.
