I have always loved art. Even while attending the Royal Military College I was always drawing and painting around campus. Unfortunately my art took a bit of a hiatus until 2018 when I decided to create a piece for submission to the International Veterans Art Exhibition held as part of the Invictus Games 2018 in Sydney, Australia. To my surprise, my self portrait was chosen to represent Canada and was displayed in the Gallery during the Games and then went on tour with all the other amazing art pieces. Competing in the Invictus Games for Team Canada was a life changing experience in so many ways and gave me back the gift of art.
