The question I want to look at today is, what builds courage, in life and art?

Just want to start setting some context for this post with some interesting reading that a friend of mine shared a while ago…

When did I start calling myself an artist? The answer is "long before the people around me or anyone out in the world".

I have not gone through a traditional art school education, nor have I started to practice art in my twenties.

Why do I love painting in an abstract style? Well… we're first going to take a little detour into my past and corporate experience…..

As a teenager and my early years I was so into realistic sketching and painting. I loved to paint flowers, nature, people. And then I stopped painting for many years...

Is life meant to be perfect?

Many experiences from the past, good and bad ones, make use grow. All experiences come together, and we become who we are. As I grow older I feel I need less "precision" or "control" in life.

Thrilled to have my work represented by the lovely Galerie Bloom in Montreal. My paintings will be surrounded by amazing artwork in this colorful gallery!

The ArtistProject 2018 show is now 5 days behind us...and I finally have some time to write another post. This was my first big show and I was really impressed with the organization of this show and my overall experience.
