Self-taught Artist born and raised in Québec.
Began painting in Oils in the mid-60s.
Relocated to Vancouver Island as a teenager and stopped painting by the late 60's.

Summer 1973

Resided in the lower mainland, Alberta and Manitoba for several years,
eventually coming back to the West Coast where I resumed painting by the late 90s.

"Art in your soul? Just do it!"    

Became a member of, and the webmaster for, the Port Moody Art Association from the millennium to about 2012.

Participated in Port Moody's "Artist in the Park" program at Rocky Point Park,
from its inception around the millennium to 2006*.
I only attended  the Park sporadically thereafter for several more years.

Original works and Giclée prints on canvas were exhibited and sold from 2001 to 2012 through the Lone Cypress Gallery,
a commercial gallery in old Port Moody that is no longer there (owner retired).
Commissions were also handled through the gallery,
I do not do those anymore.

Summer 2023           

Currently living in Merritt, BC,
and resuming to paint after a decade long hiatus.

*Comatose in hospital, survived bacterial meningitis/encephalitis,
and other infections that summer, having combatted misdiagnosed pneumonia.
