He is known for his diversity in styles and mediums in painting and sculpture; and for being extremely prolific.[2][3] In 1988 Picard moved his young family from Toronto to Vancouver, British Columbia where he raised his two children, Rachael and Simon Picard, while continuing to paint and sculpt. Since 1995, he has taught at numerous post-secondary institutions in the greater Vancouver region. He is recognized for his inspirational teaching.[4] Throughout his adult life, Picard has been active in humanitarian work in his local community and in New York City. ArtPicard knew from a young age that he would be an artist. As a youth, he taught himself to paint and he read extensively about art and artists. He names Francis Bacon, Pablo Picasso, Rembrandt and Monet as influences. [5] Picard studied at Sheridan College and the Ontario College of Art. He worked with several artists: Cuban watercolourist Ramon Amor, Canadian sculptor Thaddaeus Szpelowitz, Canadian painter Harold Town. Harold Town stated in a written note that Picard's talent "is rare in the art world". [6]Picard's philosophy is based on following one's own creative urge. He firmly rejects producing art solely for the demands of the market and has spoken out to artists to avoid doing so. His own work defies identification as one style and ranges expressionism through traditional realism.[7][8] Picard works and teaches in his studio in the Commercial Drive area of Vancouver. He is a master in oils, acrylics, watercolour, and inks. His images are primarily representational and include portraits, figures, landscapes, and classical scenes. His sculptural mediums include clay, metal and wood. Picard's paintings and sculptures are in private and public collections. TeachingPicard teaches drawing, painting and sculpture in Vancouver at various post-secondary and community locations including Emily Carr University of Art and Design, North Vancouver Neighbourhood House and Picard Studios. He has arranged student shows to give students an opportunity to show their work. He is known for his inspirational teaching that focuses on the creative process. [9][10]In 1998, Picard set up the first sculpture class for visually impaired students in the Vancouver area.[11][12] Humanitarianism
