I was born in Burma in 1937. My father was a Scottish civil servant and my mother's family were American Baptist missionaries. My parents settled in Canada when I was age 11. My mother taught me that I would devote my life to art and I believed her. Luckily I had a day job too. Nevertheless, art has always been my bread and butter, in a way, and my jam too. |
