These shots are from an old 35mm camera I took with film, not digital-gasp! You know when you shoot film, maybe 2 or 3 or if you're lucky 5 shots come out great and the rest is crap? Well I shot this roll right after a snow fall a few winters ago and almost every shot came out great. To top it all off, everything had this beautiful blue glow to it. Haven't had a shot like this since. Also thought I'd add one from a roll of black and white I did the fall before hand. Ah, film. There's something so smooth about it.
I've been in the arts since before I can remember. I have won scholarships to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, but while these courses did offer relevant classes, I do consider myself to be a self trained artist as I do not have any university "education."
I have taught art classes for years, hung works in different galleries and coffee houses, as well as been commissioned to produce works for various businesses in Winnipeg. I work primarily as residential support for adults with mental disabilities and plan and work on exhibitions and contracts on the side.
I am taking a break from my art to travel. As field research, I will be going to different countries of conflict to document various humanitarian and environmental issues which I will later paint for exhibitions.
Currently I am residing in beautiful New Haven, Connecticut volunteering with YWAM Axiom's Mercy and Justice DTS. Over the next 5 months I will be strengthening my relationship with God and then traveling to Pune, India to work in an orphanage with children born from prostitutes. It is my goal over the winter to become closer to Christ and help those in need.
