An active member, Vaid has exhibited in numerous shows at Artway Gallery since September 2009, as well as our touring floral art show in 2010 and 2011. BIOGRAPHY His art experience began in 1945, at his local school. Insisting on sitting in on his brother's class, after six months he was lured back to his own class, with the aid of colourful toys and pictures. His teacher taught him how to write on a wooden plank smeared with ochre clay. That was the beginning of Anand’s journey, creating beauty and beautiful things around. In grade 5, he won a mango drawing competition, giving him the confidence to pursue his love further. Studying textile engineering at university, graduating in 1961, India was in crisis by 1962. Commissioned in 1964, he served as a Captain in the Indian Army, assigned to the Assam Regiment. While on duty, he was stationed in a green and beautiful area of the country, full of flowers, later moving on to the Himalayas. His painting kit always accompanied him, although he was unable to put anything on the canvas, the unforgettable memories of the Khasi hills in the Shillong area, Sikkam and Mizzo Hills were etched in his memory. Immigrating to Canada in 1973, he was busy operating businesses until his recent retirement, and only since retirement has he returned to painting.
