Quick Biography: Ted Shado (Canadian) I have been creating art for thirty-seven years and I have shown my work in many galleries and juried shows. I studied visual art at the University of Windsor (B.F.A.) and received my Architectural Technology certification from Ryerson University and my teaching degree from the University of Toronto (B.Ed.). I am currently teaching visual art at the secondary school level; while creating and exhibiting art. For eleven years I managed my architectural firm and then taught for twenty years. I have recently decided to do art for the art aficionado and displaying my artwork on the world wide web: instead of doing art for the elite. I draw abstract images on the computer and photograph reality in all its splendour. I have been exhibiting on the web at tedshado.com since 1998. Posters of my work are being sold at www.art.com. Think about it and enjoy....
