From a young age, I knew that one day I would love to paint. It wasn’t until later in life that my childhood dreams of being an artist came to life. In early 2000, I joined the art studio of the talented Philip Craig. Shortly after, I established the impressionist.ca site to display and sell my artwork online. My Paintings were also displayed and sold at Koyman Galleries in Ottawa and B4ARTS Gallery in Montreal. Over the past 12 years, I’ve established two Rinaldo Hair Salon & Spas in Ottawa. Because I have been so consumed with my business, I haven’t had the time to paint, nor do I have any pieces for sale. I’m hoping that my love and passion for the arts will bring me back to this amazing medium soon!
