Hamilton artist opens studio space in Aldershot for local creative talents

A Hamilton-area artist has returned from a residency in Paris, France, with a new appreciation and passion for the local arts scene. He is now opening his studio in Aldershot to encourage other artists to explore their creativity and passion. “I really like to think of myself as an artist that just projects the world that I see and that I’ve experienced really,” said the 42-year-old artist Jesse Warren. “A lot of people have said, like maybe a street artist or pop artist, but I mean, whatever shoe they want to put me in that’s fine.” Warren says he started showing his work at the Art Crawls on James Street North in Hamilton years ago, but has only been a “professional artist” for three years.
