James Ruddle

I was born july 8 1981 in Hamilton Ontario Canada. I attended Westdale Secondary School and began painting in Oil at the age of 16. I was a graphic designer and scanner operator at SE Graphics from 1998-1999. I went to Mcmaster University where I began studying Multi media and Fine Arts. I dropped out of Multi media in 2nd year and Focused Full Time on the creation of art and organizing my artistic Philosophy. Graham Todd and Allan Flint were major influences in the direction my life and art took. I am currently practicing arT and Teaching in the Greater Toronto Area.
