His articles and television appearances have been translated into Portuguese and Italian. The author of 7 of his own books, the artist is now completing 2 more manuscripts.

Bernard Poulin Artist's Statement: Creating artwork is like parenting. Once your work is mature enough to leave the studio it should not be over-protected or intruded upon. It should be left alone to speak on its own.
