About the artist
I am a mixed media artist living and working in Toronto and born in Montreal. I used the power of language to draw out emotion and connect with the viewer. Nostalgia is a big part of my process. Finding life magazines, playbills or game cards to create a painting is one part and picking the perfect phrase to overlay on the collage is another. I work in my home studio daily and truly love what I do.
