Henri Groulx
From a young age, art has been my passion, a thread woven through every stage of my life. Growing up, I was exposed to diverse cultures due to my father's occupation, which continues to inspire my creativity today.
As a child, my involvement in Boy Scouts fostered a lifelong love for camping and the outdoors. Those formative years instilled in me a profound appreciation for nature and a sense of adventure that has continued throughout my life.
Discipline has always been my mantra, guiding me in everything I do. From earning a Masters 4th degree black belt in martial arts to running marathons, I’ve embraced every challenge with determination and focus. Living and experiencing seven decades, I feel incredibly blessed to walk this amazing path of life, eagerly looking forward to the next three.
In my teens, I began studying Eastern philosophy, a journey that deepened my love for mindfulness and spiritual growth, a practice I continue to cultivate daily. As a yoga teacher, meditation practitioner, and artist, I’ve dedicated myself to both physical and spiritual balance, always striving to connect deeply with the world around me.
Nature is my sanctuary. Living on a serene lake, I spend my days meditating, taking long walks, and riding my Harley Davidson along winding roads. These moments of peace and exploration fuel my artistic inspiration, allowing me to translate the beauty of nature into my work.
Before fully embracing my path as an artist, I owned a business as a mechanic, where I honed my skills with precision and craftsmanship. Yet, my heart always returned to art. I’ve carved, painted, and studied at the School of Art in Ottawa, continuously evolving my style to reflect my love for simplicity, mindfulness, and nature.
Today, my art and lifestyle embody the peaceful rhythms of life. Through Eh Canadian Peace™, I share my journey with others, inviting them to embrace a life of balance, creativity, and connection.
