Groot Studios

After over 20 years in health and safety in the energy sector, I’ve decided to pursue my passion for art. I’ve been creating art just about my whole life. I’m a self-taught artist who started out sketching with graphite and ink. As I matured my craft, I expanded into mixed mediums, focusing on abstract Impressionism and textural techniques. I’ve been published twice as an International Contemporary Art Master and have showed my work throughout Canada in Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto; and internationally in Las Vegas and Florence, Italy. Lately, I’ve been focused on surf, snow and rock ‘n roll! I’m always creating new work and am happy to discuss commissions to suit your space. Check out my website at
