Pauloosie Michael

Biography

Pauloosie Michael first started to draw when his mom wanted to sew a flower on duffle socks and needed a point of reference. He has been drawing on and off since this time, and it is always something he returns to doing. He has experimented with many materials including crayon, pastel, watercolour pencil and pen and also learned to work in different mediums such as printmaking.

Pauloosie Michael a commencé à dessiner lorsque sa mère avait besoin d’un point de référence afin de coudre une fleur sur des gros bas de lainage feutré. Depuis cette période, il dessine de temps en temps; c’est un passe-temps qu’il revisite si le cœur lui en dit. En plus d’essayer de nombreux matériaux, notamment le crayon, le pastel, le crayon aquarelle et le stylo, l’artiste a également appris différentes techniques, telles que la gravure de reproduction.
