I was born in 1955 in the region of Bois-Francs, Québec, a true "boomer" with a very religious education. At seventeen I bought my first box of paint.
I loved the smell of this painters box where oil and turpentine intermingled and the colors were so beautiful. Phenomenon of addiction, I want to do the Fine Arts!
In 1973, I went to college (CEGEP du Vieux- Montréal) to learn a technique in Industrial Design. I was passionate about the art courses, not so much about the design courses.
Throughout the years I perfected my artistic training by taking part in courses and workshops given by professional painters. I also went to University to get a certificate in visual arts
from the Université du Québec à Montréal.
My artistic activities have continued to multiply, I have presented my work in multiple solo and group art exhibitions and painting symposiums in Quebec where i received various awards and mentions.
My passion for painting is very lively, energizing.
I invite you to discover and browse this website. Moreover, being able to read some of your comments would make of this moment a dialogue.
Good visit
