Gordon Reidt

Artist Gordon Reidt's love for nature has evolved from photography into producing one-of–a-kind stone artworks.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Since childhood, Gordon has had a passion and respect for all aspects of nature.

In 2005, Gordon began to explore stone sculpture and was immediately captivated. From that beginning, his sculptures developed a nature theme that still dominates his work today.

Gordon has had the privilege of working with local stone artists as well as Shona sculptors from Zimbabwe, Jade Artist Deborah Wilson in Vernon British Columbia, and has attended the Haliburton School for the Arts.

Gordon approaches each stone project with an open mind guided by the shapes and individual characteristics. Using a variety of available stones increases the challenges of working with new or unusual stones.

Each year, Gordon participates in a variety of studio tours and art shows. His regular studio tours include the Durham West Studio Tour, Uxbridge Studio Tour, Lake Scugog Studio Tour and the Stouffville Studio Tour.
