It is understood that an artist should specialize, should adhere to a distinct subject, style or uniform design for their art. I have trouble with that.
Long ago in a galaxy far, far, away, I studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design, where I concentrated in design and illustration, with a little sideline in Calligraphy. Although I focused on commercial work for a year or two after I left OCAD, I found myself wanting to paint. While solo backpacking in the Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, and Southeast Asia for a year, I somehow ended up painting commissioned portraits and landscapes, especially of horses (my first love). I intended to find a way to pursue fine art when I returned to Canada, but life had other plans for me.
