 George,
born in Montreal in 1943, earned a B.Sc. degree at McGill University.
He moved to Calgary in 1968 to pursue a career as an exploration
geologist in the petroleum industry.
Painting pictures of cars began
as a hobby in 1986. The first public exhibition of his work occurred
early in 1993. Later that year, George decided to devote full
time to his art.
Most of the exposure to his
work has been through public galleries in Alberta. However, George
has also been invited to participate in exhibitions in the United
States and Great Britain. His images can now be found in Canada,
the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany and
Japan. Several of his paintings, focusing on automobile or architectural
subjects, have received awards in various competitons.
Noted for its vivid colours,
reflections and attention to detail, George's work is divided
between commissions, both private and corporate, and personal
projects.
