I came to art by chance. Here's the story of how I came to be an artist:
For many years, I worked as an investment advisor/stockbroker. One day, a colleague invited me to sign up for a weekend-long art workshop being run by his wife. Even though I had no art training whatsoever, I agreed to try it out as it sounded like something different to experience. Little did I know that this experience would become a "tipping point" in my life. The instructor introduced us to dozens of different paints in wonderful colours and textures, and we were encouraged to just "play" with the materials. I was transported to a different place! I found that hours flew by in an instant. I felt so energized by using broad brushstrokes of colour , and watched as paint dripped down the surface of the canvas. The whole process was deeply satisfying, (even though I was not able to paint anything overly recognizable), but it was the sensory feeling of being immersed in colour that really appealed to me. A short time later, I quit my financial services career to follow my heart into art. So I became an artist by chance, but I stay an artist by choice.
Colour is my morning coffee! It wakes me up. It energizes me. So even though I paint in different mediums and styles, what unites all of it is colour!
