About

I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan and from
a very early age always had crayons or pencils
in my hands. I was lucky enough to have an
artistic mother who introduced me to oil pastels
and oil paints when I was ten. My mother
painted for many years and our home was always
filled with original art. When I left home,
I studied computer science and geography
and continued to draw and paint when I had
time. I had a rewarding computer graphics
career for twelve years.

I am primarily a self taught artist, although I have studied one year of
art history and painting, drawing and design at Kwantlen University Collegein Surrey, BC. I have illustrated a book, designed logos, made greeting cards, created art quilts and created commissioned portraits of pets and children. I have designed and published my own website and blog. I enjoy writing about my creative learning processes and practices. My website and blog can be found at: www.tiltedeaselstudio.com
