HOWARD WAXBERG ABSTRACT ART

MY STORY

Howard Waxberg

I was born in Germany to parents who were Holocaust survivors. We moved to Toronto, Canada when I was 1 year old where I still live and work to this day. My studio gallery is located in midtown Toronto.

​

My love of painting started when I was in grade school and continued to high school at which time my concentration turned to academics and a business career in design and construction. Now I am back to my love since childhood. Painting.

​

I am partially self taught and have studied at Toronto School of Art, Central Technical School of Art and The Art Gallery of Toronto. 

​

Presently I am working with Joe Fleming.

​

My influences are mostly the great early to mid century abstract exprssionist painters: Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandinsky, Robert Motherwell, Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Hans Hoffman, Joan Miro, William Dee Kooning, Sam Francis, Jean Paul Riopelle, Frank Stella​ and many of the contemporary painters working today.

​

My work is exhibited at my studio gallery at 1380 Bathurst Street, Toronto and can be viewed and purchased by appointment from my studio or online from this website.
