Join CFUW St. Catharines members as we listen to Edward Spera, wildlife artist, share his travel adventures related to his art work. A self-taught artist, who has never taken a class or opened an art textbook, Edward's work, in acrylic paint, has been compared to and rated alongside well-known international wildlife artists. So realistic in their detail are his paintings that they can easily be mistaken for photographs. The thought process has always remained the same, trying to depict the animal in the most beautiful way he can, offering the viewer a glimpse into that animal’s world with the goal being of inspiring those who see his work to be mindful of the animals that we all share the world with, from the exotic animals in the far-flung reaches of the world, to the animals you see day-to-day in your own backyard. The Edward Spera Gallery is located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.
