I have no artistic ability whatsoever when it comes to the visual arts, but I do enjoy it. I have purchased more than a few items in the past couple years that are on display in my home.

My favorite piece is a print from a friend of mine in Calgary named Lindsay Simons. He completed this piece in 1997 and won the category he entered at the Calgary Stampede Art Competition. This is a print that I purchased off him a couple years ago.

This is one of my favorite items. A country scene near a small town in rural Saskatchewan. It was painted by a coworker of mine, Doug Philp. This is an original by the way.

This one was a print I purchased from a local store for my girlfriend on Valentines day a few years back. I like the colors in it.

My wife purchased this before we were married while on holidays. She was walking along the Ko San Road, a backpacker's haunt, in Bangkok, Thailand. She spotted this tapestry and ended up paying around $10 US for it. Beautiful piece of work.

These two pieces are from our travels in South America in 2005. At a large market in Otavalo, Ecuador we purchased these two prints.

This is a sculpture we found in the curio market outside the Livingstone Falls gates in Zambia, a country in Africa. Kind of neat looking really.

These 2 wood carvings were also purchased in Africa. The giraffe was from Nairobi, Kenya, and the elephant I purchased in Stone Town, Zanzibar as well.

These cute stick men are from Zanzibar too.

This was an original canvas painting of Angkor Wat I found in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Cost me next to nothing, but I had to carry the thing around for a month and a half before I came home.

These African paintings are from a town called Kande in Malawi.

My wife purchased these figurines of Vietnamese women somewhere in Vietnam.

This is a favorite of mine as well. A ceramic tile depicting a guitar player. This came from Spain in 2003.
