STEPHEN PROSENYAK emigrated to Canada as a youngster in 1934 and lived in Temiskaming, a town at the head of the Ottawa river. The Pristine Lakes and bountiful snow would influence his later painting. Following university studies, he moved with his wife in 1950 to Quebec City. It was later that he took up oil painting influenced by the artist community of Baie St. Paul, an area known as Painters' Paradise frequented by beginner and accomplished painters - the Group of Seven as the best known. His teacher was the late Maurice Lebon, a painter in love with nature.

Moving to Toronto in 1980, Stephen joined the Willowdale group of artists and has been a frequent exhibitor.

He is among the original members of HuVAC and an active exhibitor - including Budapest in 2001 during the millennium celebrations and 2006 during the celebrations commemorating the Hungarian Revolution.

Stephen paints his winter scenes, old buildings, maple sugar shacks and landscapes for the love of painting.
