Bio

Have always been interested in art at various levels during my youth growing up around my father (www.frankboudreau.com) whom is a fairly successful artist himself as a realist painter and jack of all trades in Nova Scotia, Canada and my brother, (davidbboudreau.weebly.com) classically trained animator graduating from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, whom has been working for nearly 20 years in the animation industry in and around Hollywood, California and of course the back bone of any good family, my mom, and her many creative do-it-yourself undertakings.
 I started developing my computer art skills back in 1996 after attending a computer animation and visualization course in Nova Scotia, Canada. However I really didn't get into it until I got an account at deviantArt which I've had now for 5 years since 2003, I've been hooked ever since. If you asked me who was the first person that drew you into digital art I would probably have to say, deaddreamer. It was because of him that I somehow managed to find my way to places like deviantArt,  online artgroups like depthcore and Twisted Realms (of which I was once a member).  Some of my favorite artists are H.R. Giger, Brom, Louis Royo, Chris Achilleos, and Dave McKean.
 My female themes are a tightly woven balance into my psyche. I think alot about the feminine forces of the universe. How and what we do to the earth, ourselves, each other, etc. It also has alot to do with the drain it has on my mind since the computer industry and the internet took off many years ago. It's an unbalanced addiction to the digital world that we all sometimes find ourselves. Alot of the times, I'm just enjoying whatever it is that I'm doing with my time. Experimenting. Practicing skills. Doing something, instead of idling by and wasting time. It may not be the most fulfilling but it is the most gratifying. Like many of us, still searching for that right place in time. The comfort place in the happy zone.

Before all that I was creating and painting Celtic Art themes on paper and beach stones. Attending a few Irish Festivals and gatherings, selling pieces of art here and there.
