Short Bio
After working as a graphic designer for 10 years (1980 - 1990), I am delighted to dedicate my time on some fresh and innovative paintings.
Four years of consuming arts and culture in Florence, Italy (1991 - 1995) planted a creative seed in my heart, I came back to Canada and started to paint passionately.
From 2000 to 2015, I ran a commercial art studio in Toronto (Canada), teaching drawing and painting to children and adults, including those with special needs.
As a student of life, citizen of the world, and a child of the universe, I love learning because I am always young-at-heart. With this awareness, I immerse myself in paintings everyday, exploring the possible truth in science and the secret of collective intelligence in nature. At the same time, writing has been a daily spiritual practice to channel my creative energy from the world of mystery that I am engaging with.
