Dunford's artwork invites viewers to ponder; his imagery sparks further investigation. And if his paintings seem to hint at an underlying narrative, that's because Dunford is first and foremost a storyteller - no matter which medium he decides to use.

While most artists pick one material to explore, Dunford has a more varied repertoire. He draws, paints, prints and sculpts - but he also is an actor, director, scenic painter, carpenter, prop builder and puppeteer.
