OttoRappBorn in Felixdorf, Lower Austria, I lived and was educated in Vienna, where later I worked as a clerk in the Transport and Insurance Business. After completing service in the Austrian Air Force, I traveled throughout Europe, eventually settling in Stockholm, Sweden. As a Painter I was initially self taught, studying in the various Galleries and Museums. In Vienna, I was often ‘hanging out’ at the Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste, where I admired the work of the "Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus" represented there by the Professors Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner and Arik Brauer. I emigrated to Canada in 1968, later entered the UofL Fine Arts Department and graduated in 1982 (BFA). I worked for the CPR until my retirement in 2006.

In January 2009, I started a Private Network of Visionary Artists on the Ning Platform with a handful of friends. Since then, the Membership has steadily grown and includes some of the very best Visionary Artists in the Universe. Many of these artists had been friends for decades, others are new to the fold. In September, 2009 I opened a virtual gallery, Visionary Art Gallery, to showcase the work of our members.
