Contemporary Artist
About me & my process
Born in Quebec, Canada, my career trajectory has spanned across notable global cultural hubs, including Montreal, Amsterdam, Paris, and Munich. Currently, I am living and working in my studio in Memmingen, situated in the picturesque southern region of Germany.
My professional journey is rooted in the high-end fashion industry, where I worked in creative visual roles. Parallel to my career, I have nurtured a lifelong dedication to abstract contemporary art. This passion culminated in the middle of 2021, when I made the strategic decision to focus exclusively on my artistry.
Over the years, I have enriched my artistic perspective through extensive education in art, attending classes across Canada, the USA, and Europe. This diverse educational background has been instrumental in refining my unique artistic approach. My experience in the interior design of retail spaces has honed my skills in attention to detail, and an acute understanding of harmony and balance. My objective is to craft art that not only resonates on a personal level but also evokes profound emotional responses.
My work is characterized by its expressive, textural qualities and I often incorporate found materials to achieve a harmonious interplay between concealment and revelation. My creative process is intensely layered, delving into an exploration of shapes, lines, surfaces, and textures. My commitment is to the creation of authentic, unique, and honest artworks.
In reflecting upon my journey, I am humbled by the opportunities that have come my way. I have had the privilege of showcasing my work in both solo and group exhibitions, experiences that have not only been profoundly enriching but also pivotal in my artistic growth. The recognition of my art in various publications and magazines is a testament to the universal language of art and its power to connect diverse audiences. Additionally, being invited to share my insights and experiences on a podcast has been a gratifying experience, allowing me to connect with listeners and fellow artists on a deeper, more personal level. It is particularly heartening to witness my creations finding homes across continents; my work is now collected and cherished by enthusiasts in Europe, Canada, and the USA. These accomplishments, while deeply fulfilling, serve as continual reminders of the ever-evolving nature of art and my ongoing journey within it.
