The Diamond can be likened to the Soul... buried deep within us, formed and moulded under the intense pressure of one's life. The character, complexity and beauty of the finished work become metaphors for the Soul Search of the Individual, the Relationship, Society, and even the Universe.
Kearns' comes to this latest Diamond Series of works during a lengthy career as a fine art painter and after an even lengthier career as a commissioned Artist and Illustrator working on projects for General Motors, Proctor and Gamble, 3MCo. and UWO. Best known for his Marathon of Hope Portrait of Terry Fox, Cliff and his wife Mary Margaret moved to Vancouver from Ontario four years ago. The new environment and his own Soul Search has helped to inspire this Immortal Diamond Series of Work.
