Exploring Heritage Through Art and Historical Narratives
Artistry and History Intertwined in Local Heritage
Finding the extraordinary in things commonplace
Local History Focus
Saturday morning at Manfredi’s Fruit Stand at the Brantford Farmers’ Market when the market was in front of City Hall. The Market moved to its current Greenwich Street location in 1964. City Hall was built in 1850 and demolished in 1965.

The ordinary, the forgotten and the unnoticed are transformed into eye-catching images that drive your imagination; capturing moments before they are gone - moments that are worth remembering.
Through my unique style I call photo-pictura, everyday places, objects and images come to life. I take pictures of things that capture my imagination. Everyday you drive by locations, but you don’t see them anymore. I was a fan of the 1960’s TV cartoon Jonny Quest created by illustrator Doug Wildey. His use of black in his work made an impression on me.
