" I Wonder " by David Ward

In 1988, following a number of successful gallery shows, a sea-kayaking trip along the wild shore of British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands lead to the realization that fine art was his true vocation.

Within a month of his return, he left behind the security of the commercial design world and moved to the artist colony of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to work on a series of west coast landscapes for exhibition the following year.

In 1992, David was invited with two other Canadian artists to exhibit at the prestigious Lotte Gallery in Seoul, South Korea. It was the first time contemporary artists from North America were privileged to exhibit work in Korea. His paintings have also been accepted by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson "Birds in Art" exhibition in Wisconsin; the "Arts for the Parks" exhibition in Jackson, Wyoming; and the annual Wildlife Art International exhibitions at the Algonquin Park Gallery, Ontario, Canada.

Today, David resides and has his studio in rural southern Ontario. In this frenetic modern world he finds the rolling wooded hills and pastoral landscapes of this area conducive to his work. He states in a 1999 essay: "The natural world is a nurturing environment and, for me, a constant source of inspiration." And from a magazine profile in 1996: "I am trying to portray man's relationship to the world in which he lives, more specifically, the natural world and man's place in it."
