Bio
I grew up in Montréal and spent my childhood and adolescence
in an artistic milieu. My father and mother worked in graphic
and clothes design and two of my uncles are well-established
Canadian painters.
I discovered the medium of plaster bandage
while studying Studio Art at Concordia University and supporting
myself working as a waiter. I had some pieces in the Silverstone
Gallery and Galerie L'art Francais and in 1990, I exhibited
my work simultaneously at the Maison de la Culture Marie-Uguay
and the Panorama exhibit at Place des Arts.
Relocating to Vancouver
in 1993, I began a career as a caterer, and later, as a recreation
therapist with older adults. I'm a builder of sculptures who's
been influenced by Alexander Calder, Fernand Léger, René Magritte,
and Don Martin of MAD Magazine.
