I am a Montrealer. I have lived in this city all of my life. I am also a subway user. For most city dwellers, taking the subway is often the most economical and efficient way of getting around. Every subway user gets on or off at a particular station for a specific reason. It could be to go to work. It could be to go to school. It could be to go shopping. It could be to visit family or friends. It could be to go out on the town. Whatever the reason, everybody has a destination and very often a station to call their own. This is what 'The Subway Series' is all about. Each person that I paint will be matched with a Metro station. It could be a friend, family member, or total stranger. I will be recounting anecdotes as to why I chose these individuals and why I paired them with their station. All you have to do is click on the red dotted Metro stations on the map above. They will bring you to the individual paintings. All aboard!
