About Me
Welcome! I am a visual artist and educator dedicated to helping you discover and refine your creative voice. My background spans extensive technical training, holding an MFA and BFA in Visual Art, a CEGEP degree, and a minor in Art History.
Since relocating to Vermont, I have had the privilege of teaching at the Community College of Vermont and the Shelburne Craft School. My foundational and advanced courses include Drawing I, Painting I & II, Introduction to Studio Arts (including printmaking), Foundations of Sculpture and Portfolio Development (capstone class). I cross-pollinate mediums in every class to give students a comprehensive, tactile understanding of visual art. Before my move, I spent many years in my hometown of Montreal nurturing the creative sparks of young artists.
Beyond the studio easel, I bring years of professional framing experience to help you confidently present, wire, and hang your work. Having curated and mounted countless solo and group exhibitions in traditional galleries and alternative pop-up spaces, I am uniquely equipped to help you format a standout professional artist resume.
Art is an ongoing dialogue. Our work together will be entirely collaborative, customized to your unique schedule and creative goals. I look forward to sharing my deep reverence for the arts with you.
