I was born in Montréal, Québec into a French-Canadian family. When I was 6, my father was offered a job in Atlanta, Georgia and six months later, I was fully bilingual. That was the first of many moves during my childhood which opened my eyes to different cultures, opinions and lifestyles.   As a result, my life has been quite colourful and this has extended into my art (and my cooking).

​

I’m fascinated by the sights, sounds and textures of my natural environment, especially the effects of sunlight and the energy that I feel radiating through nature. In addition to my landscapes, I also enjoy figure drawing and experimenting with abstracts. My preferred mediums are oils, acrylics, charcoal and mixed media.  

​

My process varies but I’ll oftentimes start with a tonal underpainting and then build up the painting with layers of colour.  As the painting progresses and begins to reveal its personality, looser and brighter brushstrokes are applied to convey the energy and emotion behind the painting.

​

My influences include many amazing artists but I’m especially drawn to those that use bold colours and expressive lines... artists like Edvard Munch, Egon Schiele, Félix Vallotton, Dorothea Tanning, Mia Bergeron and Dina Brodsky.

​

I have a Collegial Diploma in Fine Arts and a BA in Communications. In 2017 I decided to leave my corporate job to devote myself to painting full-time. The entire painting process gives me so much pleasure… establishing the composition, values and colour, using painterly brushstrokes and finally watching the painting come alive.
