1. Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Andrew Proulx and I live in Kingston, Ontario in Canada. I’m a self taught abstract artist. I work at Staples in the technology department. When I’m not working I’m doing what I love and that’s creating art.

8. What do you like about your work?
I like that I’m able to get my emotion’s and thoughts out whenever I create. When I look back at the art I created I can remember the emotion and thoughts that where happening at that time.
