I am a French Canadian, born in Saint-Placide, Quebec, in 1973. Since 2014, I have been fortunate to call the breathtaking landscape of Trinity East, Newfoundland and Labrador, my home, a place that has deeply influenced my artistic journey.

I graduated in graphic arts from Collège Ahuntsic in Montreal and later studied theatre production at Lionel-Groulx College. I have worked for over 25 years as an assistant decorator and graphic designer for movies and TV Shows.

In Montreal, I was the co-owner and co-creator of two companies. The first was Les Petites Mains (recipient of the Young Entrepreneur award), which specialized in props, graphic design, and framing. The second was GTV Graphisme Télévisuel, which specialized in graphic design. Both companies worked exclusively in the cinema and television industry.

Also, as a freelance graphic designer, I have built a substantial clientele, which includes Cirque du Soleil and Moment Factory.

In 2021, I built my first studio in the attic of my 1871 oceanfront house. The beauty of the ocean, icebergs, fog and whales was very inspiring. It was the beginning of my artistic journey as a visual artist. In 2022 and 2023, I received the Luxembourg Art Prize Certificate of Artistic Achievement. I was also a finalist at the Affordable Art Fair of New York in 2024.

A new chapter of my life is unfolding as I begin a journey to discover the beauty of Greece on a long-term visa. I am thrilled to be planning my new art studio on Crete Island, nestled in the middle of an olive grove. It will be a new source of inspiration, surrounded by vines, oranges, and lemons.
