George Théorêt (Acrylic)
George Théorêt’s keen interest in drawing started in his early years. He developed an interest in portraiture and at 17 solicited passers-by to sit for him, doing charcoal portraits in an art store window. He won 1st prize in his high school art contest for a coloured pencil drawing of a Chinese pagoda. The regional school board commissioned him to paint a large oil portrait of the high school’s founding directress.
During lapses of 13 years, 5 years, and 3 years, where no paintings or drawings were produced, he developed patience and acceptance for what he could accomplish as an artist and now works on 3-5 paintings at the same time. In returning to the Maritimes, George started painting with members of the Aspotogan Arts Group.
The artist has had a number of diverse careers working in different industries, both full time and part time. In 2013, George decided to pursue his interest in painting full-time, working as an artist.
