‘I see beauty in our aging urban strata. In Hamilton, Ontario, where I reside. the effects of nature over time have eroded the buildings and infrastructures, transforming them greatly.

Gordon Leverton is a member of several guilds and artist groups including, The Art Gallery of Hamilton, Hamilton Artists Inc., and The Artists Network, and is an elected member of The Society of Canadian Artists. His artwork has shown in the The National Gallery, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Todmorden Mills Museum, Ogilvy Hall in Montreal and the Tom Thomson Memorial Gallery.
A self-taught artist, Gordon's previous incarnations - as picture framer, writer, retailer and entrepreneur - have helped form his art direction; that of urban decay and architectural design. Born in the farm-belt community of Chatham, Ontario, his years in the rural southwest gave him a unique perspective on the body of this work.
Gordon's work has frequently shown at the juried Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, and has received first place awards in the Junction Juried Art Exhibition and the Riverdale Art Walk in Toronto. His work is in many corporate and private collections, including the City of Toronto, actress CCH Pounder, and founding chairman of the National Museum of American History, Dr. Ivan Selin. Press coverage includes spots on CH-TV, CBC Nightly News, Global News at Six, Hamilton Spectator and the Globe and Mail.
