When I create a painting, my soul is laid bare for all to see.
Moved by colour and texture, bright hues and large canvases, are what I love best. Be it oil or acrylic, I am inspired by nature and the movement that inhabits it. My painting style is cheerful and playful and expresses a love for life and an appreciation for all that is organic.
My recent Pear collection demonstrates my love for cheerful colours, with a playful propensity to create allegories to sensual relationships. The fruit of my labour of love, leads to the trees which surround us and the life that inhabits them. Who doesn’t love trees! Which is why I invite you to take a stroll through the forest of my imagination. Finally, it would not be nature without our lakes and oceans. Feel the wind blowing through your hair and the warm rays on your face as you gaze upon my love for the sea and the promise of memories of sun filled vacations.

Available for Commission Work
I am pleased to work with you to do commissioned art pieces. If you like a painting that is already sold, or not the size that you prefer, using your choice as inspiration, I will be happy to discuss your needs and create a one-of-a-kind Original based upon your preferences.
Commissions usually take 3 to 8 weeks to fulfill, depending upon the size of the work. I will send you updates upon the work as it progresses; and upon completion, you approve the final work. I will then deliver (Greater Montreal region only) or ship the work to your address.
After we have agreed upon the size, theme and timeline, a 50% non-refundable deposit will be required prior to the commencement of the work. You may provide your approval via photos or in person, if you are close by. Please note that final payment is required prior to delivery.
