Blake began painting in spring of 2008 after a lifetime appreciation of art, with a particular fondness for abstract, rather than representational work. He strives to create pieces which are rich in color, shape and texture, and which allow viewers to explore and discover on their own, without the constraints of realism imposing a view of what they “should” be seeing. Blake considers his most successful pieces to be those that result in the greatest number of unique interpretations. He refers to his style as “Abstract Perceptionism”, as he believes that each viewer will perceive each piece in his/her own unique way, based on their own personal frames of reference. His work, which has been described as both organic and industrial, can be found in collections across Canada and in the United States. He currently works with acrylics on both paper and canvas..

     Blake is currently represented in Winnipeg by Gallery Lacosse.
