As far back as I can remember, I have loved to draw. Having a highly active imagination, I’d capture on paper whatever I could envision. My favorite Subject was always Art, and once School was over, I took night classes in Life Drawing and Cartooning.
While working as a Mechanical Artist in the Screen-Printing Industry, I was able to explore creating designs, painting, and printing on various fabrics – T-Shirts, table mats, bags and even other surfaces like walls and a pair of shoes – very cool!
With the change in the Printing Industry to utilize Computers, I went Back-to-School. I enrolled in a 3-year Graphic Design Diploma Program through Seneca@York, Graduating with Honours, and receiving the Seneca Certificate of Achievement (twice for highest Academic standing). Apart from Computer Studies in Mac platform, the Curriculum included Art history, theory and application, as well as an Introduction to Photography. I loved all the Art theory and practical but absolutely hated the computer!
T
hat has not stopped me, though, from using those dastardly machines to create flyers, posters, logos, even calendars. In recent years through Walker House and the SGGOFA, I have had the opportunity to study and apply a more traditional approach to landscape painting and drawing, still life and even wildlife!
Of course, in-between all of that, I doodle – dragons (my favourite), mandalas, and a set of playing cards on canvas – whatever I can imagine!
