About the Artist:
I grew up in Montreal, Quebec. After graduating with a degree in Fine Arts, and no applicable skills, I worked as a fence builder, house painter and seller at an outdoor produce market.
Since I have always been a doodler and cartoonist, I sent samples of my work to Shoebox, a humour studio at Hallmark Cards…and so began my career as a greeting card artist.
I have also illustrated books, and designed several logos and fonts. My artwork has been applied to school supplies, calendars, stickers, mugs, t-shirts, dog and cat bowls.
Hallmark had a farm where artists would go for creative renewal. It had a barn with a fully equipped wood shop and welding area. That’s where I learned how to use power tools, a drill press and ban saw.
Now living in Victoria, I like to comb the beach with my dog Bean looking for driftwood for my pieces. ReStore, Value Village and hardware stores are my favourite places to browse for things to incorporate in my artwork.
Say hello to my wood friends 🙂
