Building Walls Building Character
$125.00 – $1,150.00
More than just a school, Building Walls, Building Character captures the spirit of mentorship, growth, and the bonds that shape us during our formative years. This powerful painting by Suchiu is a tribute to Sandwich Secondary School, but more importantly, to the educators and experiences that leave a lasting impact on young lives.
At the heart of the piece is a moment of kindness—two senior students helping a nervous first-year find his footing, an act that reflects the mentorship and encouragement Suchiu himself received from his beloved architectural teacher, Joe Thoms. In many ways, this artwork is a dedication to Mr. Thoms, a man whose unwavering support and belief in his students helped build more than just a school—it helped build character.
Look closely, and you’ll spot a younger self-portrait of Suchiu peeking from the doorway, as well as Bill Dodd, the principal at the time, putting the finishing touches on the building. Every detail in this painting tells a story of personal growth, guidance, and the impact of strong role models.
Whether you’re an alumnus, an educator, or someone who values the power of mentorship, this print is a timeless reminder of the people who shape us into who we become.
