ARTISTIC COURSE:

Since as far back as I can remember in my childhood, I held a pencil in my hand and drew. I created drawings that I colored afterwards. I drew constantly everywhere, I particularly liked the walls, even to the utmost dismay of my parents.

At the beginning of my adulthood, I enroll in oil painting classes with Master Marcel Desbiens who gives me the passion to paint. Subsequently I enroll in an art course at the university at 25 years.

I did several group shows in different festivals.

I have exploited several mediums, such as watercolor, ink, acrylic, calligraphy, but I have a particular love for oil painting.

I put aside my art to raise my children and for my professional career, for a few years. I painted 2 or 3 paintings not year and especially watercolors because it is easier for me with children.

After a few professional turns, I met in 2013 a person who influenced my life, my career, my passion for painting resurfaced. he became very quickly my teacher and my mentor, the Master Emmanuel Garant, painter and sympathetic artist of great renown. With him I learned several techniques, especially those of the great masters of the Renaissance. Emmanuel Garant who by his teaching propelled me forward and encouraged me to surpass myself in my own style.It was for me one of my very great artistic influence, I admire his work and his ability to make the emotion of these portraits and feel them move on the web. I was lucky to learn to paint with two great masters of our time, Marcel Desbiens and Emmanuel Garant, I am very grateful.

I join the team of the École des Beaux Arts of Lévis as a teacher in 2016, I teach drawing, oil painting and acrylic to children and adults.For me teach, also became important to me to paint, to share my knowledge and my techniques are for me a primordial satisfaction with my artistic balance.

Since 2013, I have participated in several solo exhibitions, as well as several symposiums in Quebec. In October 2016, I receive the "" Coup de Coeur Award from the public "" in Alma, Places aux artistes. Also, on June 3, 2017, I still have the honor of receiving this "" Coup de Coeur Award from the Public "" among the 60 professional painters present at the Convention of Fine Arts of Lévis. On the weekend of September 2nd, 2017, I attended the symposium of St-Élie-de-Caxton, where I had the happiness to be received as honorary president. Next August I will be president of honor to the festival of 5 senses of Ste-Sophie de Lévrard.

What fascinates me the most is to put emotions on a canvas with my brushstrokes and my energy, this is my artistic research, feel alive and vibrate through my paintings and thereby make people vibrate . I want all my subjects to come alive and to feel all their emotions and vibrations.

I often prioritize women as well as horses because their emotions are closely related to those of humans. I know them well, they have been part of my equestrian career for several years. I also have a very strong social side, I like human contacts and I have listened to people throughout my professional career, people fascinate me and I have more and more, I would say "" The passion "" to paint them.

Art and especially painting is an integral part of me, it inhabits me at all times of my life, and makes this life that it is so palpable and so wonderful.

The expression of my emotions through my painting and my creativity allows me to rise and blossom both physically and spiritually. I paint with my heart, my joys, my sorrows, my life experiences and my emotions.

BIOGRAPHY:
