About this event
Visual ArtThroughout the month of November, the works of Jon Christopher Embree are on display at Morningside branch
Jon Christopher Embree showed artistic promise early and started drawing, painting and sculpting from his teens on. With some post-secondary fine arts instruction, he then worked as a graphic artist with a focus on colour theory and retouching. Since retirement, he has worked full-time on visual art using oils, pen and ink, watercolour, acrylic as well as sketching, pencil and charcoal.
“I want to move people, showcase something that will highlight the beauty of a moment in nature, or the day-to-day environment, ordinary life activities and special places. I want the viewer to stop, breathe slower and think.”
This exhibit is part of TPL's Art Exhibit program. Toronto Public Library provides space for local artists to exhibit their work at locations across the city. These exhibits aim to reflect the diverse cultural interests of the city and its neighbourhoods. Free. All are welcome.
