ARTIST STATEMENT
My artwork explores the interplay of absence and presence in the layers of memory. I draw and paint faces, figures and objects that live in a liminal space and become vectors to an ebb and flow of thoughts and impressions. The ballet between what was, what is and the ephemeral dictates the narrative content of my new body of work called In Between.
I develop my visual language with oil paintings, encaustic image transfers and clay sculptures. In the paintings fragile beings take form in a mode of expressive figuration, loose and hazy portraits are borne out of drawing transfers into the soft surfaces of encaustic and the clay busts and heads I hand build mirror the figures I create. All these pieces nourish my creative process, and infusing each one with a life of their own is what keeps me creating.

ABOUT ME
I am a Canadian expressive figurative painter originally from Quebec City. I studied drawing and painting at the Visual Art Centre in Montreal and over the years followed numerous workshops with local and international artists.
My work was shown in group and solo exhibitions over many years, it was featured in galleries in Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City and it traveled to International Art Fairs in the United States, England and Hong Kong.
I work in my studio in Montreal where I live, and out of my garage in Vermont during the summer months.
