Paul Balcaen– I’m a French-Canadian born in Manitoba and raised on a dairy farm in La Broquerie, where my exposure to beautiful natural vistas inspired me to draw and do 35mm photography. After taking a break to study Industrial Design at Humber College in Toronto (Class of 2002), I’ve since expanded my artistic interests to screen printing, typesetting and etching. My work at the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada honed my graphic design skills that incorporated many different media, and allowed me to design for a larger audience. My latest passion is in typesetting and woodcut printing.
