My Art Education comes not from a formal institution but from a lifetime of serendipitous encounters. So many amazing teachers and workshops. I believe that all arts communicate and mingle, the vision is the same. Learning and understanding fuse if you are open to other perspectives, there are no real boundaries.
Art Through Design 1983-1988 - Dr. Stanford Perrott ASA ACA. Experimental private art classes. A brilliant educator Dr. Perrott spent thirty-seven years guiding generations of Alberta artists, formerly at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology which preceded The Alberta College of Art and Design, of which he was Head, before he retired.
Privately teaching PURE DESIGN (his term) his focus and intention was to enable us to individually be able to create our own personal images. Taught as he believed art should be taught, without the burden of the formal bureaucratic system.
His mentoring and encouragement continued for the remainder of his life and I would not exchange one minute of those years for a formal art degree. I was only one of thousands of students, fortunate enough to have known him. His letter of recommendation is a treasured document.
