Lorne P. Winters

Lorne P. Winters is of Polish descent and was born in Toronto in 1932. He began sketching and painting in his early youth. He studied and graduated in Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto in 1955, after which he pursued a career in engineering construction. In his leisure time he continued to paint and also began sculpting. After having accomplished career goals, he decided to make a change and pursue the one thing he considered more important and satisfying---to create art in painting and in sculpture. For the past several years, he has devoted all his time to this pursuit, primarily to sculpting. As a self-taught artist, his work reflects a basic simplicity naturally derived from his engineering construction background. His paintings, mostly figurative and still life, are in a traditional style and include in most cases a definitive play of light and shadow. His sculptures are mostly stylized figurative with simplicity and feedom of form and with vaying degrees of abstraction. His use of textural variations in the surface finish, combined with high-lighting tecniques in the patination, enhance the sinuous lines and curves of his sculpture. While honing his sculpting skills, he experimented with various materials and eventually developed and perfected a unique sculpting media, "Winterstone". He works exclusively in this media---be it a working model destined for eventual bronze casting or a finished permanent sculpture in itself. This product is presently being introduced and marketed commercially to the sculpting community. He is a member of the Sculptor's Society of Canada, and a member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario. His works are presently being shown and sold in galleries in both U.S.A. and Canada.
