About

I strive not to create the exactness of nature or the human form, but to paint its essence.

Imagine art, music, and words as powerful tools to express the deepest wounds, speak the language of love, or describe the divine planet Earth.

 

Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, by two artists/violinists, I grew up surrounded by the arts. I fell asleep on the church pews, listening to Baroque chamber works while my parents performed. Original paintings by my father and mother hung on the walls of my home.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a specialization in flute performance from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. My 40-year music career has spanned solo, studio, chamber, and orchestral work, as well as serving as a church music director, choir member, and composer for sacred and secular music.

As a child, I spent weekends and summers on a small lake in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. As an adult, my time in the wilderness each summer — paddling remote rivers or climbing mountains, absorbing the land’s energy — is reflected in new artworks.

My art infuses motion with emotion until all becomes a painted story. I feel I am an Alchemist — transforming paint, movement, and mark-making into tangible feelings of the human spirit. The art you connect with has the power to restore, inspire, and lift the heart.
