Drawing has always been present in my life. Since as long as I can remember, I adored this means of expression. However, it is only after one family life and professional filled well that I could devote my time to myself. Here in short, the various Masters who guided me in my advance. Since 1984, I followed several courses and workshops: My beginnings with Athos Samuelli. we worked in oil and I continue my studies of portrait. Then I perfected my technique of the pastel with Max Stiebel. A great moment for me, when I discovered the pleasures of the watercolour, my professor: Jacques Hébert.
Since then, I have participated with various workshops led by Gerard Brisson, Jacqueline Gougeon, Louise Seekings and Graham Sholes. At present, I continue my work of watercolour with Renate Heidersdorf. Throughout the years, these various Masters have helped me to specify my preferences of kinds and mediums. For most of the time the portrait and the landscape have been my true passions. After having worked various médiums, I am privilege now, the ink and the watercolour, which lend themselves well to the subjects which inspire to me. In fact of inspiration, my grandchildren provide me for the moment, all the desired subjects of protraits. It is my way "to look at them" as they grow. With regard to the landscapes, I simply like to reproduce all of nature's beauty which inspire me!
