Samuel was trained as professional oil & acrylic painter in China. After he immigrated into Canada, he is working as a hair stylist and owns his own hair salon on Main Street. Eventually, he combines his day-time profession & interest together. Now, he is working as both hair stylist and canvas painter and combining his salon and art studio together. While he is not cutting hair, he teaches kids and adults how to paint in his salon/studio. 2009 will be Samuel's first year to participate in the East Side Cultural Crawl event.
