Seymour Segal was born in Montreal in 1939. He has been remarkably active in the Canadian arts community for nearly 50 years. A professor of fine arts in Canadian art schools and universities, Segal also exhibits internationally in frequent solo and group shows. His work is part of private collections in Canada, the USA, England, Switzerland, Australia, Israel and Japan. In his own words: "The studio is my sand box; the grains of sand are my colors. Brushes and chalks are my tools. Together we play, explore and improvise. I discover stuff I didn't know I knew. I paint to celebrate and to denounce. Painting is a ritual honoring my belief in creativity, in the here and now. The studio is my chapel."
