WHAT'S NEW ?

SPRING-SUMMER 2024

Three exciting exhibitions are taking place in June, July and August of this year:

From June 7th to the 27th, I will be exhibition at Viva Vida Gallery in Pointe-Claire with my fellow artists of the Lakeshore Association of Artists. And this promises to be very unique as only work never exhibited before will be presented. The vernissage will take place on June 7th and there will be a last chance to meet the artists during a Finissage on June 27th. All are welcome!

From June 29th to July 7th, la Vitrine des Arts de Bolton will be hosted once again at the St-Patrick Cultural centre situated at 245 route Missisquoi in Bolton East. I was honored to be chosen Honorary president for the 2024 edition of this exhibition that reunites 32 artists from the region.

Finally, the members of the Institut des Arts Figuratifs will be holding its SIGNATURES event at the Boréart exhibition center in Granby from July 27th to August 24th. The vernissage will take place on July 27th from 1pm till 4 pm.

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!
