Born in Paris, I grew up in Quebec City, and earned an MFA at Concordia University in Montreal, before moving to New York City, where I continue to work in my Harlem studio. I paint luminous abstract landscapes on gold and metal leafed canvasses. Extending the centuries-old tradition of gold leafing, I adapted the technique to express my own Modernist vision - one that has luminosity as its underlying theme.  I am currently focused on merging reading, writing and painting into a form of seeing that, like listening, takes place over time as in a musical score.
