Brand New to Canvas Gallery: Artist Tori Smith

   Canvas Gallery is pleased to be carrying the works of artist Tori Smith.
Tori has been painting for over a decade, focusing mainly on aspects of the urban landscape. Her current series of playful paintings depict trucks, diggers and other construction equipment that tear up, build and rebuild the environment.
Tori's interest in painting machinery was spurred by her twin boys’ fascination with every construction site they passed together. Gradually she became intrigued by the colourful muscularity and the visual complexity of the machines. By creating compelling portraits of heavy machinery, she hopes to engage viewers in new ways of seeing these workaday objects so central to our environment.
