with family in attendance.

About Me
My name is Ward Maxwell, and I am a poet and artist living in Toronto, Canada. All of the work featured on the site is by myself. The art is analogue in its making. I do not use AI to create any of my art or writing.
I hope these works create joy for you. I‘ve reached the point in my work where if you, the reader/viewer, might take pleasure in it, find an insight, or may be inspired by it. That’s what completes the loop of making art for me.
If you like something, please let me know. Part of the purpose is to interact with anyone who likes what I’m doing. Feel free to comment, share, like, or … just experience a moment of joy.
