Press Releases and Travel


South Beach:




Oulu, Finland.


This is a story in the local journal about the show that I exhibited in Colmio Design's show room. The title of body of work was Dreams. I needed a title that communicated the fractured, colourful landscapes that showed civilization in various periods, stages of life and complexities. I named the show in French to give a more Canadian feel to it as I feel that a part of our unique identity is the mutual existance of two distinct languages and cultures in Canada. I painted the show while living in small Francophone community in Gaspe, one of Quebec's most eastern regions.


St.Thomas Ontario, Canada.


After I came back from teaching abroad with the Odyssey program in Quebec I visited the town that my parents and I were born in. It was an important weekend for me to take part in; the beginning of the addition of local artists to their city market. My relatives were very large supporters of my work for a long time and contacted the local paper to come out and speak with me.
