BIOGRAPHY I began to paint and create mixed-media artwork while working as a structural engineer. My journey began when I visited Paris, France, for the very first time; summer of 2003. I had an argument with someone at Le Louvre. My claim in being an artist was in question. The root of my anger stems from the fact that being an artist is not because of what I do but it is because of who I am. This argument pressed my reset button and the rest as they say is history. I married my critic at Le Louvre and blew wide-open the double doors into my creative vault. I grew up in Toronto, where diversity and the spirit of acceptance is still the norm. The multicultural mix and historical backdrop I witnessed in my childhood, as a Torontonian, are my everlasting muses. |
