Born in Baie-Comeau on the North Shore, I discovered painting at the beginning of the 80s.
My creative process starts from an intuitive gestures. It is recognized my work by my bright palette that runs alongside the effects of transparency and opacity. I use acrylic and mixed media works to provide the relief and texture to my paintings. All subjects interest me and my themes vary according to the inspiration of the moment, but I favor the recurrence trees contreplongées, while my characters, flowers and still lifes are taken very close up.
"... Painting is a work of exploration, reflection that never ends. I do not want to lock myself in an artistic compliance; I aim the break, spontaneity, freedom of movement and color. "
I have to my credit many solo and group exhibitions. For several years I gallery and agencies in Quebec, the United Kingdom and the United States. Through these, I have participated in international events leading diffusion of my works in different countries such as Japan, Australia and Turkey. Found my paintings in many private and corporate collections.
