Artwork by Kirt Silver

“Some ideas belong on canvas.”

Painting gives me something tattooing never can—the time and freedom to work at a different pace.

There’s no deadline, no limitations, no expectations. Just an idea and the opportunity to see where it leads.

I work primarily in oils and acrylics, creating original artwork inspired by wildlife, nature, portraiture, pop culture, and the moments that leave a lasting impression on me. Some paintings begin with careful planning, while others evolve naturally as the work progresses, but every piece is approached with patience and attention to detail.

I’ve always believed that great artwork invites you to keep looking. The more time you spend with it, the more you discover. That’s the experience I hope every painting offers, whether it’s hanging in a private collection, a family home, or a business.

In addition to original paintings, I also offer quality canvas prints of my work, allowing collectors to enjoy my work in a format that’s both beautiful and accessible.

Painting has become another way for me to tell stories. Sometimes those stories are quiet. Sometimes they’re bold. But every piece is created with the hope that it makes someone stop, take a second look, and feel something they didn’t expect.

“The best artwork isn’t found. It’s created for you.”

Some of the most meaningful pieces I’ve ever painted started with a simple conversation.  A memory you never want to lose. A favourite place. A beloved pet. A family member. Whatever the inspiration, my goal is to create artwork that captures more than just what something looked like. I want it to capture what it meant.

Every commission is painted by hand using professional-quality oils or acrylics on canvas. When starting the process, I’ll work closely with you, sharing ideas along the way so we can make sure to capture the right feel before the painting is started.
