"art by leo"

What makes me tick? An intro...


I was born in a small village on the South Shore of Nova Scotia during the early 1950's. From the time I could hold a blunt object I was drawing on everything, everywhere! There was never a time in my life when I did not want to be an artist. However, when I realized that going to art college was out of the question, I quit school, and left the pencils behind.


Thirty-five years and dozens of hobbies later, I returned to the pencil with the intent of "illustrating" a book I had written. The first scratch I made on paper reawakened my love of drawing. I will eventually illustrate the book I wrote, thus acheiving my goal.
