I paint lively, vivid, energetic abstracts using acrylic paint, mixed-media materials, and all sorts of tools to apply these to canvas or board. With no idea in mind when I start a series, I have to let intuition and the principles of value, design and colour be my guides. It's always exciting to see paintings emerge from those first few layers of experimentation, play, and mark-making. 

​

I started painting, in oils, in 2007. By 2011 I was showing my work in exhibits and gallery spaces in Toronto. Sometime during that period I learned custom picture framing, which led to the opening of an art/framing workshop in 2014 and then an art gallery in 2016. 

​

After many years away from my hometown of Montreal, I returned to Quebec in 2023 and settled in the eastern townships. Abstract painters are as inspired by nature as anyone else, and I am always looking for striking palettes. My other sources of visual imagery come from gallery visits, architecture, and my sketchbook.
