 Introducing Juror Dwight Baird

                 Born and raised in Huntingdon, Quebec, Dwight Baird specialized in watercolors for over 20 years. After graduation from St. Lawrence College in Cornwall, Ontario, he worked as a graphic artist and spent two years traveling and painting in Europe.

                 These travels resulted in his first two collections of works, "A Touch of Europe", in 1983 and "There and Back Again", in 1986. During the past 25 years Baird has presented numerous exhibitions, including four unique series of paintings based on specific subjects. The first, in 1989, was entitled "Newfoundland", depicting life and people in this province. Next came "Carny-Midway", focusing on the sights, sounds and smells of amusement parks and the "carny" lifestyle. This was followed by "For the Love of the Game", a series of over 50 works depicting the great game of baseball. One of these pieces, "At the Twilight's Last Gleaming", was used as the concept for the cover of the 1994 Major League Baseball All-Star    Program. This was followed by "Night Vision", a series of nocturnal images exploring moonlight and shadows.

                In 994 the artist was commissioned by the Montreal McCord  Museum for an original watercolor, the featured image in the exhibition Play Ball Montreal! He was also honored as a recipient of a 2000 Premiers Award, presented annually to graduates of Ontario colleges for outstanding accomplishment in a specific field of study (Visual Arts). For the last 10 years Baird has worked in acrylics and has developed an exciting new style of contemporary realism - mixing the broad strokes of impressionism with specific detailed areas in his work. He has been working on a unique series of pieces depicting daily life in Cuba, documenting a time in history which will never be seen again. Baird  lives and works in his studio in Montreal.                   Visit Dwight Baird at http://dwightbaird.com/
