From 2012 to 2014 I studied classical drawing and painting while living in beautiful Florence, Italy.
In Florence, I studied at the prestigious Angel Academy of Art under maestro Michael John Angel.
My experiences abroad were life changing for me, and I plan on doing more of this in the future, where I travel somewhere in the world to study and learn something new from the best of the best.
In my humble opinion, it’s the best way to travel and to experience new places as they are instead of getting the generic “tourist” overview of a city and culture.
Here are some of my works of art, completed in Italy and after returning home to Canada – in graphite, charcoal, and oils.
