WHAT'S NEW ?

SPRING and SUMMER 2025

"Ben's Bumpy Flight", my first children's book is out!! And the French Version "Le vol agité de Ben" suit d'ici la fin août.

I am so excited about this!

I wrote about everything I learned during the process that lasted about 7 1/2 years in my blog Enviroart on Wordpress here.

During the weekend of September 6h and 7th, the LAA will be presenting their annual exhibition ART BY THE LAKE on the beautiful grounds of Stewart Hall in Pointe-Claire.

I will be exhibiting with my fellow members of the Institut des Arts Figuratifs during the "SIGNATURES" event at the Viva Vida Gallery from May 21st to June 1st. You will be able to meet the artists during the closing that will take place on Sunday June 1st from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

From June 6th to 23rd, I will be exhibiting at the Viva Vida Gallery in Pointe-Claire with my fellow artists from the Lakeshore Association of Artists. Everyone is welcome!

PRINTEMPS-ÉTÉ 2024

Three exciting exhibitions will take place in June, July and August of this year :

From June 7th to 27th, I will be exhibiting at the Viva Vida Gallery in Pointe-Claire with my fellow artists from the Lakeshore Association of Artists. And this promises to be quite unique since only works never exhibited before will be presented. The opening will take place on June 7th from 5 PM to 8 PM and there will be a last chance to meet the artists at a Closing on June 27th. Everyone is welcome!

From June 29 to July 7, la Vitrine des Arts de Bolton will once again be presented at the St-Patrick Cultural Centre located at 245 Missisquoi Road in Bolton East. I am honored to have been chosen as Honorary President of the 2024 edition of this exhibition, which brings together 32 artists from the region..

FALL 2022 - WINTER 2023

We have finally moved somewhat beyond the pandemic restrictions and I will finally be resuming in-person exhibitions.

Over the past few years, I have been getting increasingly into digital art and illustration. There will soon be a new page on this site to showcase some recent illustrations.

I recently finished this large painting representing an elephant without tusks. An article will follow shortly on my blog about the way these animals are coping with the man's pressure. Be sure to go to check it out on my blog here .

I am also resuming my work on two books that should be out by mid-2023.

The first one will comprise some of my blogs about life, hope and creativity as well as some technical tips on painting and mediums.

The second one is a children's book I wrote and am in the process of illustrating. Here is an advanced view to one of the illustrations-

Let me know if you are interested in being part of my "launch team" and getting an advance copy of either book in exchange for your impressions and comments.

Here is some information for two art exhibitions and sales. The first one will take place at Stewart Hall on September 10th and 11th , organized by the Lakeshore Association of Artists, a group of local artists I belong to and 1/3 of sales is donated to a local charity: On Rock Community services and Food bank.

The second show is organized by the Beaconsfield Artists Association and will take place on the grounds of Centennial Hall in Beaconsfield on September 17th from 1pm to 5pm. Also put together by local artists, artworks presented will be smaller. Part of the proceeds will be donated to Amcal Family Services.

I will be present at both exhibitions and am looking forward to seeing you again!
