Born in Montreal, Quebec and residing most of my life in Ontario, I recently made a life changing move to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This move immediately changed my life for the better. Suffering from anxiety and panic attacks brought on by extreme stress, my Mom encouraged me to start painting. I quickly delved in the world of art, using many different mediums, such as alcohol inks, acrylics, pastels, spray paint, watercolor and collage.Immersing myself in painting helped tremendously with my anxiety and panic attacks. Painting, and creating light out of darkness, is exactly what I needed. I have loved every single minute of it since.
I am inspired by the strong ones that suffer daily from mental illness. I know first hand how that feels. The struggle to see the light. When people look at my art, I would like them to feel a sense of calm in the chaos that is within them. Feel the light and know they are not alone. That is what truly inspires me to create.
I was always afraid of dying, and the idea of death. Not existing anymore. That caused a great deal of panic and anxiety. I wanted to leave an imprint after I was gone. I wanted to still exist.
Art continues forever, and so will the emotions I use to create every one of my paintings. That is an imprint I am happy to leave behind.
