La vie en rouge 2 Print

I am a globe-trotting artist who draws inspiration from many places: Born in Los Angeles from French parents and raised in Canada, I spent many years living in Japan. I currently live in the beautiful bilingual city of Ottawa. Because I was born with no depth perception, I see shapes and colours vividly and in my own way. This is what has drawn me to abstract art - where I can express my feelings and create an ambience with the placement and mixing of colours. My work has been describe as bold, feminist and unapologetic. I paint from my feelings and use bright colours to represent my intense moods. I work mainly with acrylic, and sometimes oil pastels. My favorite instrument to use are plastic cards (like credit cards, memberships cards, etc.), but I also enjoy working with paint brushes, sponges, rags, fingers, and more.
