Matters of the heart Painting

I was born in, Tunis Tunisia. My mother Italian my father Polish.I started painting in my early teens. When I felt creative I would paint and it gave me direction. I started with Acrylic and pencil.At the beginning I was interested in painting the city of Montreal especially the Old Town. Then my first mentor gave me the confidence to push my art to another level and try nonfigurative painting. I think all my life I have had the capacity to go from figurative to nonfigurative easily. Depending on how I feel.I have had mentors to guide me in my style of painting for the last 3 decades. The founder and curator of the Museum of Contemporary art in Montreal. My Spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy that gave me confidence on my road as an artist.
