Biography

I am a Canadian artist, born and raised in the Province of Quebec and now live in Ottawa, Canada. Painting since 2005, initially with watercolours and now with acrylics, my artistic journey has been charted by general and specialized courses (e.g., Ottawa School of Art), workshops abroad (Tuscany, Provence and Columbia) and pilgrimages to New York City galleries.  Professor Yves Larocque has been particularly instrumental in my quest for contemporary relevance.

 

Statement

The Rooster series is intended to address the interwoven- ness in nature across the animal world as an instrument of evolution itself.

There is a link between the impulses of the rooster and the human condition. Obviously, this link exists with other animals, but I find that the rooster is so expressive in every strut and every fret, in colour, stature, pride and frailty that I cannot help make the connection. Imperiousness, dedication, pride, cavalierness, doubt, courage, belligerence, pomp and circumstances are all there. These features are then transposed from its primal impulses  into the conditioned patterns of all of us or what we call “masculine” or agency. In one sense it seems, we are boxed in by all of these patterns; yet, we can choose to use them as pedestals from which we can gain a different view. It’s as if Nature starts with a simplicity and basic need to prepare the way for evolution, like a piece of music that is transposed to something far more complex and expressive by the simple means of changing its key and instrument
