Hello and welcome to my website! I am a contemporary artist living and working in the Beautiful Ottawa Valley. I have been creating art in one form or another since I was a teenager, growing up in Quebec city. I began painting traditional landscapes in oil and now my work is more expressionism mixed with abstract, in acrylic paint. Although mostly self taught I have completed a variety of courses and art workshops over the years at The Ottawa School of Art and from a number of accomplished artists in Canada and the USA. My passion is clearly coulour and I draw my inspiration from nature’s ever changing palette. Painting is my first love however my recent training in sculpting and pottery have influenced my work. After a 30 year career in the aviation industry I spend most of my time creating in my home studio, when I am not travelling or visiting family out of town. People say my art is happy! I love that!! |
