Quick Biography: Ted Shado
(Canadian) I have been creating art for thirty-seven years and shown 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 thirty-seven years. 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. Think about it and enjoy....
