Through art I express my joys and sorrows, doing what, to me, is survival and communication. I do art to find myself. Art is a conversation with my inner self and a way of sharing with others, ‘for better or for worse,’ as they say.

Dan Delaney, a Montrealer of Irish descent, is a self-taught artist. He works primarily in the medium of watercolour and oils but has been exploring acrylics more recently. Dan pursued drawing, painting and music throughout his formative years, and continued to expand his creativity and painting during his marriage and the raising of their five children. Dan and his family bought Artlenders Gallery in Westmount in 1976 and ran it until the gallery closed in 1993. Over the years, he has consistently exhibited his works across Canada and the U.S. in solo, duo and group shows. In January 2017, Dan will have a solo exhibition at the Côte St. Luc Library. This collection of art by Dan Delaney was put together and photographed by Serai co-editor, Susan Dubrofsky.
