I was born and raised in the beautiful rural countryside of Quebec and it has served as a great source of inspiration my whole life. Both sides of my family are made up of artists who have also become my mentors as my passion for art grew over the years.
Throughout my childhood education, I participated in all the art programs available and quickly learned that art was my calling.

I have touched upon many different artistic expressions over the years: photography, music, dance, drawing, painting, sewing, crafting, graphic design and many more.
My first painting was sold at the age of twelve years old and since then I have been busy with custom orders, exhibitions, craft fairs, collaborations with other artists as well as helping the next generation of artists follow their creative path.
Recently I launched my own product line where I do hand illustrated art on different personalized items and I have created my own website to share all of my projects.

I have loved Fine Arts as far as I can remember. I grew up in a country that getting art education was not much of an option. However, that could not stop me from doing what I loved. I became a self-taught artist. I have worked with graphite, pastels, pencils and watercolour for more than 30 years. After moving to Canada, I graduated with a BA in Psychology and I took many Fine Arts classes in KPU. Now in addition to the previous media, I work with oil, acrylic, and mixed media as well. I express my love for nature through the use of bright and happy colours. I am interested in Canadian landscape and cityscapes, especially Vancouver landscpaes. I have worked with children for more than 20 years and I love the way they show interest and curiosity about every little thing. As I have taught, I have learned, and I am absolutely blessed for being able to do art and teach it. The feeling of its flow makes me to forget about the time and place, as it takes me to a world of absolute tranquility. I strongly believe in the therapeutic power of art; as we all can create beauty and through the process, we change to be part of what we make.
