For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to the arts. It began with an introduction to scrapbooking, which gradually led me to discover the world of "mixed media."
Fascinated by paper, textures, and colors, I have explored various mediums and techniques across a range of surfaces—including PanPastel, inks, acrylics, oil sticks, Gelli plate printing, encaustic, printmaking, soluble interfacing, cyanotypes, and cold wax.
A pivotal moment occurred when I met the artist France Houle at an exhibition in Mascouche. Her invaluable advice nurtured my creativity, inspired me, and encouraged me to explore the materials I already had on hand in entirely new ways. That is how a passion was born!
Always seeking to expand my knowledge and take on new challenges, I have pursued numerous training programs—both online and in person—covering mixed media and textile art.
Over the past four years, these studies have led me to explore the concept of the horizon line—a fresh perspective on composition.
