Born 1969, in St. Mary's Ontario, Geoff Slater is a New Brunswick artist who lives in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. In addition to creating images using watercolour, acrylic and graphite, he also makes prints using woodblock, intaglio and lithograph techniques.

His unique style of painting (which he invented 10 years ago) is known as "Amaze Art" or line painting. These are images that are created using one continuous line.

He is also a muralist and his outdoor art can be seen throughout St. Andrews. Geoff studied landscape design at Fanshawe College, Fine Art at Georgian College and printmaking under a master printer. His work is collected worldwide.

My line paintings are painted using one continuous line with a beginning, and an ending. Although it changes colour, the line never touches, or crosses itself.

First, I draw the basic image, however, that is where the planning ends. The line takes shape, as I paint it, with no set path or direction.

Intellectually, the line is one of the most basic elements of art and is nearly impossible to escape as an artist. Fundamentally and spiritually, the line represents a certain connectedness - a thread that ties objects and individuals together. Water, trees, land and man-made structures are all linked together. I create with line, not as contour, but as a full image, as miles of land, sea and sky are covered in a single stroke.
