Specializing in custom canvases.
Oil & acrylic. I work with the client to create a painting based on photos or ideas they like.

I take contrast heavy photos and render them on computer. This is a process where the client can be directly involved or they can let me fly with a few of their personal selections. I then transfer the image to a canvas by hand and paint it with oil & acrylic with a highly detailed and 'graphic style' all based on size and budget.
Graduate from Lester B Pearson School for the Arts I have been exposed to and been doing art from a young age. I love expression in many ways be it cooking, music or visual art. Creating custom art is very personal and rewarding to me.
I was extremely happy with the painting of my daughter! Everyone that has seen it is so impressed with the quality and detail. Highly recommend!!

Derek's paintings I had him do were incredible , everyone who has seen them have been completely blown away. It's been an absolute pleasure looking at the masterpieces he has created for me and I will be back for more!

Derek does awesome work. He took our vision and photo to create an exceptional piece of creative artwork. Couldn't be happier and the family loves it. Thanks so much.

I have purchased several pieces from DMC gallery and they are all lovely and unique. One of my favorites is a collaborative work in which DMC somehow improved a beautiful photo of the Burrard St Bridge when he painted it on canvas. Another favorite is a enhanced blow up of my son's painting that brings beautiful personality and color to our dinning room. My son loves to show the original and tells guests about the artist who took such an interest in his painting. His work means so much more when you meet Derek and realize that he truly lives his art.

Derek's work will forever be a focal point in our home. A one of a kind piece of professional work done with all the uniqueness and antiquity of the moment it captured. I will always be grateful I was lucky enough to find someone as skilled, creative, prompt, intuitive, and precise as Derek McLeod.
