 -----------------------------------\nABOUT THE ARTIST:\n\n\nJames Blai
 r is a 24-year-old Self-trained artist who was born and raised in Hami
 lton Ontario Canada. During high school James worked as an artist find
 ing old furniture in the trash, he would then paint images on the furn
 iture and sell it for profit. After spending a few years acting in loc
 al theatre and getting married to his loving husband Steven, James kne
 w it was time to wet his paint brushes again with the release of his f
 ork you! Series presented by Tossounian Studio on April 11th 2008.\n\n
 After a successful showing of the fork you! Series James then joined e
 stablished Ontario artist Jeanette Tossounian, International artist Ke
 ndal Hurley and His good friend Juliana La Chance in support of the ar
 ts by sharing there works during the opening of Tossounian Gallery in 
 Niagara Falls Ontario.\n\nTossounian Gallery opened and became so busy
  Jeanette had to hire\nartists to help with sales and general artistic
  need.\n\nAfter a few months of the unestablished and misdirected art 
 scene In a community packed with strong political agendas and lack of 
 inspiration James decided it would be best to come back to his hometow
 n where he could focus on his own artistic journey.\nDuring the summer
  of 2008 James toured parts of Ontario with his artwork.\n\nCITIES HE 
 VISITED:\nPort Dover\nSimcoe\nEtobicoke\nStoney Creek\nToronto\n\nHe s
 pent all of September caring for his husband who suffered from termina
 l lung cancer.\nIt is during these dark times of endless hospital visi
 ts and lack of funds that he created his series Exibit A (featuring an
 gels and Christ Driven images) which was released during the James Str
 eet Art Crawl at The MEX I CAN.\nDuring October and november His husba
 nd became more ill. He lovingly cared for his husband at home for two 
 beautiful months. In December James and Steven took one last journey t
 ogether to the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice. James cared for Steven full time 
 in the hospice for 2 weeks and was with this wonderful and inspiring m
 an when he met God. \"he was not afraid, he smiled all day\" he stated
 . His newer paintings are Darker and a bit more profound (expressing h
 is grief) featuring some of the styles of one of his favourite artists
  J.Tossounian.\n\"she took me under her wing and got me back into pain
 ting\" he says. \" My Husband was so happy to watch me paint all the t
 ime\" he added. \" He climbed up a full flight of stairs to Jeannette'
 s second floor studio to see my first series.. and all he could say wa
 s YOU'VE MADE IT !\" and he has.\n\nFor more information visit https:/
