"The Red Fairy" went through different steps to get to where I had envisioned it.  

First the modeling and bisque, then glazed and fired in an electric kiln, then smoked/burned in a pit fire a whole day in my backyard, and finally, I finished it off with mixed medias.  

Very exited to be featured in the Magazine "Vie des Arts".

Oh yes, grey days and walking in the rain on deserted beaches.  I find it very peaceful and propitious for creation - Land art, New Richmond, Quebec.

The OVOS are on the move again.  This time, they are basking in the sun on a hot and humid afternoon in Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada.

How do you see colours?  Do you see blue, green, yellow or maybe something else?  

In this image, I see pollen, moss, sea foam, agates, emeralds and more.  I see colours steeped with feelings and stories which often influence me when I decide on the title of a work - "Pollen Queen" or in spanish, "Reina de Polen", digital image.

To change gradually into a different image in a way that seems magical.

It all started with a photo that I took of one of my ceramic bisque sculptures.  The chalky white surface of the bisque seemed like a blank canvas, waiting to be painted.  I love working with digital tools and mixing color pixels in my computer, so for this project, digital art was the way to go.

I used lots of photos I had taken over the years of surface textures and all kinds of objects.  At the moment, I have over 60 images that I have created with the same base image.  I still have lots of ideas.  I'll keep on going and see where it leads me.

Beginning work on a new series of ephemeral installations.  Here is the very first of the series "Goddesses of Nature", Green River, NB - Canada.

At the exhibition opening for the finalists Prix Éloizes at the Dieppe Arts & Culture Centre.  The exhibit will run from May 4th to the 27th, 2016.

It feels so good to have fun with bright colors, especially at the end of winter, just before spring.  I'm thinking, color vitamins!

While playing with the same base image on my computer, I imagined particular colors inspired by fragments of phrases floating in my head like: bodacious greenwoman riding a bull moose, pompous red peonies prancing in a field of badass dandelions, pink flamingos breakdancing at Parlee Beach, cosmic bluebird flying over Andromeada ...

Having fun, having a blast!

Very happy to be finalist for the Éloizes award in the category Artist of the year in visual arts.  

The Éloizes will be held in Dieppe from the 4th to the 8th of May, 2016.  The award will be given on May 7th, 2016, on Gala night.
