Artist Statement

Originally from bustling Paris, France, it is close to nature, living right on the Canadian Shield that I opened up creatively and artistically and expressed that which was once hidden. In the quest to understand myself and life I came to realize that there is a healthy, pristine, naturally intelligent state of living. What manifested and is continuing to arise are universal, unifying themes expressed in simple archetypal images. With deliberate, minute brush strokes, I create compelling geometric patterns with bold colors. mesmerizing compositions offer symbolic meaning on many levels. Nature, global and figurative motifs coalesce and harmonize together in the spirit of wholeness and infinity. My paintings beckon the viewer to relax and contemplate, explore, and discover the inner and outer worlds of existence.

The images that have flowered have subsequently assisted my own personal development. Furthermore, in sharing the artwork and connecting with others I discovered that these transformational images are part of a larger visionary movement that is active in society today… as deep ecology, social justice, conscious politic, alternative economy, and so on… Uniting our vision and natural talents can become a catalyst for individual and collective change so that we can move together toward a healthier humanity.
