COVER LETTER: Hi, thanks for taking a look at my work. My name is Brian and I live north of Toronto in the town of Woodbridge. I am 60 years old and trying to fulfill a life-long dream of working as an artist. My prior work history is a litany of jobs unrelated to art and the world of ideas. I finished 2 years of a B.F.A. degree at York University in the early 80's but left for a lack of money. Since that time, I have tried to educate myself by the study of history and a craving for knowledge. I started digital painting in 2007, when the combination of tech sophistication and affordability captured my interest. Brian Hodge
