Artist Bio
“It’s called ‘The Three Cs’ (naturally)”
While early in life verbal expression could be, at times, a struggle for Duncan Forner, artistic expression never has been. Whether paint on canvas, fabric, ceramics, paper, or wood cutting, the results of his imaginative efforts have impressed and thrilled friends, family, and strangers. He’s never not creating in his own unique ways.
Duncan feels empowered when he has opportunities to show people his art. Duncan says, “ People have told me they are not good at art but they think I am and they tell me. So making art and showing it to people helps them know I think differently but can do lots of good things. “
Having created works of letters with clay, felt, paint, wood…seemingly every type of media imaginable, Duncan decided to go beyond different fonts. For this painting he utilized sign language and a ‘Lego-type’ brick font. His favorite letter is D, but he realizes other people have different favorites.
