Gordon Leverton, a self-taught artist since 2006, has a rich background in the music industry, including owning a record store. After becoming a stay-at-home father, he developed a fascination with the urban landscapes of Hamilton, Ontario during his daily walks. Leverton's art, inspired by the city's intricate networks, breaks down urban elements into component parts, exploring themes of community and connection in a graphic style, often from a bird’s eye view.
He was honored with the 2023 Art of Heritage Award from the City of Hamilton & The Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee for his significant role in educating people on Hamilton’s heritage and recently elected into the Ontario Society of Artists.
