Art by Jody Peters

I am an artist based in Ontario, Canada, specializing in surrealistic paintings and drawings. I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto.  My art encompasses a variety of mediums including acrylic, pastel, polymer, coloured pencil, and glass etching, resulting in a unique style.   My art delves into the fusion of reality and surrealism, crafting fantastical visuals that blur the line between the two. I’m drawn to surrealism’s unrestrained liberty, aiming to echo its playful absurdity in my creations. Through whimsical, otherworldly scenes, I encourage viewers to plunge into their own imaginations, peeling back layers that reveal more than meets the eye.

 

Rene Magritte:  "Art should be an escape from reality, not a mere reflection of it."
