I developed my talents early as I used art as a source of fun and I still do. At the age of 15 I began to become fascinated with Abstraction, Odd Illustrations, Native Art and Symbols, at that time I began to create my own. Art took a new meaning as I became almost too fascinated as to where my art and its realizations had brought me.
At the age of 18 I was determined to not ever focus on the traditional, figurative or the realistic at all anymore and I began the pursuit of working in any medium, written, painted or otherwise as an abstractionist.
All of my Post Secondary education and extra curricular with other artists has been in my hometown of Ottawa, the Ottawa Region and via the Internet. The Ottawa School of Art has allowed me to take the roll of Student then to Technician, now Teacher and Instructor for General Interest Courses, Teens Courses and Outreach Programs.
As for my Instruction I have trimmed a formula to teach composition and demonstrate visual art material properties. As the attempt, approach and usage of materials are important to the process, the work it self. Above and beyond all that is the idea, which is the initial work and takes the most time.
Through mistakes, trials and studies I think that art thrives in those thoughts before the true works of art can even begin.
For now I am verging on a new territory with my own art unlike my other previous attempts. At this time I am bridging my talents and styles to push in a new direction, the pursuit continues.
