BIOGRAPHY
Born
in Czechoslovakia, George escaped from communist regime in 1968 after
Soviet armies invaded the country and emigrated to Canada. He started
to draw and paint more intensively in 1974 when any spare time was left
in his very demanding profession as cardiologist. He learned his art
from well known Czech and Canadian artists (Machan, Sedlacek,
Malatek, Skvaril, Cernohorsky, Hencl, Hendrick de Jager, Don Sharp) who
became his constant source of knowledge and helpful criticism. He
took courses at University of Alberta, at McEwan, Edmonton Art
Gallery. He studied with re-known American watercolorists Frank Webb,
Toph Schink and Skip Lawrence. His work is publicly exhibited at Royal
Alex. Hospital, HYS center, COMPRU.
