Art by Jeffrey McGuire....Welcome!
**Some of my newest work is on display for sale at my workplace - Images On Bank, 147 Bank St, in downtown Ottawa.
Art has been big part of my life since childhood. From as far back as I can remember I was always doodling or drawing. My parents nurtured my creativity and I'm grateful to them for it. I strongly believe that artistic ability is a gift meant to be shared. I hope my work inspires and encourages others to follow their passion.
I work primarily in acrylic and ink but I've explored and experimented with other media as well. Lately I've been working quite a bit on recyled surfaces wherever I can find them - things like tabletops and pieces of shelving. I like the idea of liberating a piece of trash and transforming it into art! My creative approach is a journey of trial and error, layering, texturizing, re-working and reflection; I am a process artist. I hold regular art shows in my downtown studio apartment and have also exhibited at my work - Images On Bank (147 Bank St., Ottawa). To date, I have sold over 65 creations. I have also donated some to charity and given many to family and friends as gifts.
One thing I am not is a gifted web designer, but I have done my best to create a showcase of the majority of my work since approximately 2007. If you are interested in a piece I am happy to provide more information about it such as exact size and the materials/process involved in creating it. I also do quite a bit of custom work for clients and have really enjoyed creating commissioned art over the years. I hope you enjoy the site! Thanks to all who have supported me in my craft; I am eternally grateful. Cheers!
