About the Artist:

I am native of Quebec city, now resident of
beautiful British Columbia for a
little over 20
yrs. As with many artists I find my love for the arts
began at
a young age. Ever since my first
scribbles would evolve into doodles, I would
soon
realize that this passion I felt would over
power me in my life. So here I
am many years
later,( with a little more maturity ) still
expressing myself
through my artistic work.
My training is mostly self taught, but I have had a

few years of training as a Graphic Designer
in Quebec city as well as in
British Columbia. Over
the years I have found myself to be
influenced by
almost everything around me, in
many ways one may see this in my work.

Reflecting my versatility, I create Graphic Designs
such as Logo's, Business
cards and Brochures
, as well as magazine Illustrations, Murals,
painting store
fronts and home windows.
While in Victoria I have been enormously blessed

working with world re~known Elza and
Anne Mayhew. They have provided
me with great
insight in life and art and have shown me
that nothing is
impossible. I consider myself truly
blessed to have shared part of my life with

such wonderful, soulful, creative women.
It is not an easy task to live as an
artist. I must
greatly thank my entire family, my life long
princess Lori for
providing me with their
incredible support and insight. Thank you for
being

my greatest fans!

Over the past few years in Victoria, I have been
concentrating on promoting
my Window art
and mural work. My paintings seem to stir
emotions in
children of all ages. One day as I was
painting a store front window an elderly
woman
approached me saying that "my work
transports her back into times
when she would
remember, as a younger child, running across
the snowy
slopes of her parents farm". She then
thanked me for bringing back a long

forgotten memory.
Painting Murals and Windows are a great medium for me
to share and express my feelings with the public.
I take great pride in my
work, closely working with my clients ideas, I create a painting that is original
with a high visual
impact. I will work on any theme whether it be a Christmas,
Valentines, Easter, Spring, Halloween or promotional Design. My
work is
not limited to business owners, but also includes private residences. I will
paint Murals in any room of the
house, such as a faux or themed design in the
hallway or a mural in your child's bedroom or recreation area. Perhaps you

might like your windows painted! I am presently making Signed Edition prints
and Greeting cards available for purchase and
constantly adding new work to
my site, come back often to see what is new.
Any comments you might have
are more than welcome here. If you would like to commission
some work or
simply say hello, contact me any time.

All the best in Love, Health, Happiness and Success to you all and thank you
for your interest in my work.
