Groot Art & Design

I work in mixed medias, ranging from ink and graphite to oils, acrylics and others. My most recent work has been primarily contemporary abstract pieces.

I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since 2001 I've lived in Calgary, Alberta, where I met my gorgeous wife Kristy and have been happily married since 2005. We had an angel in 2009 that changed our lives and my perspective (both for the better).

My work has been shown throughout Canada including Calgary, Cochrane, Toronto and WInnipeg; and internationally in Las Vegas and Florence, Italy.

I work from my home-based studio, where my goal is to represent my surroundings and experiences through art. My constant inspirations are my beautiful family and friendships.
