Blue lilies

Oil on canevas 24 x 36 in. **Owner: Danielle Bernier** This painting is a tribute to my favourite flower ; lilies. Though blue lilies don't exist, I don't get tired of drawing and painting them. I spent a lot of time playing with the light and the reflexion on the leaves and petals. There is so much texture in it that you could stay a while just to stare at it.
Red and black tryptique

Acrylic on canevas (airbrush) 16 x 20 in. (3x) **Owner: Catherine Savinsky** A special order from one of my friend. The project was to make a painting to enhance a red, black and white living room. The joyful ambiance that comes out of it is due to the breakthrough I had playing with shapes and stencils with my airbrush. This is with this project I made peace with my airbrush and saw all the possibilities it offers.
Emilie

Acrylic on canevas **Owner: Emilie Rivard** A sweet and beautiful tryptic for my beloved sister Emilie. I portrayed there her personality : she is a delicate, beautiful, loving and luminous human being. It is a pleasure for me to "make a portrait" of people, even if you don't see their faces I think this kind of portrait talks a lot more about a person than a classical portrait.
Feather of change

soft pastel on paper 8 x 12 in. A study for a painting, this drawing was meant to stay in my sketchbook. But it's when I showed it to some people and saw their admiration for it I decided to put it out there. You can see the "final product" of this sketch further in this gallery.
Healing

Acrylic on canevas 18x24 in. For how long I had this idea of a painting in my head before I finally was ready to tackle it? Seems to me like a long time. Being in a dark moment of my life, I had this vision : a vision of healing, a sing that I was healed and the end of the storm. It was this image. You cannot imagine how I felt when I lifted my brushes and started playing with the colors. A new beginning with my soul stronger than ever and ready to start building a beautiful life that was laying ahead of me.
Magnolia

Acrylic on canevas 36 x 48 in. An other fun time with my airbrush. When I moved to British Columbia I had never seen Magnolia trees before. I was in awe. I had to pay my tribute to this beauty of nature. Obviously I made my own version of it but the point wasn't just to replicate a picture on a bigger canevas. It was more to express my joy and my gratitude to be in front such elegance and splendour.
Orchid's dance

Acrylic on canevas 18x36 in. Singapore Orchids mix my favourite colors together. I wanted to see hou could nature could blend in such perfect ways colors and shapes. Many trials and errors are underlying the final result but I am very happy that I could get closer to the understanding of the making of these magnificent orchids.
Red

Acrylic on canevas 12 x 18 **Owner: Tina** A delicate painting to study the contract of light and dark. I also wanted to try using colors I left in the bottom of my paint drawer. This was afterward gift to a wonderful sweet and loving women I met in BC : Tina, who helped my boyfriend and I to get ahead together in this life.
The lilies

Acrylic on canevas (airbrush) 24 x 30 in. Wanting to get pass the basic uses of my airbrush, meaning, using simple stencils, I decided to try to make a painting 100% with my airbrush. It and I have a love/hate relationship so with patience, researches and delicacy I finally create this piece. By choosing lilies as the subject, it helped me getting motivation to not drop down and keep going.
Tropical swirl

acrylic on canevas and steel wire 36 x 36 (roughly) A special order for my family, we had a brand new bathroom with accent of raspberry magenta. My dad, thanks to whom I wouldn't even dare to follow my passion, pushed my reflexion about the boring rectangle canevas all the artists use. He wanted me to make a painting that "stands out of the canevas". With his help, I came up with this design that is half a painting and half a sculpture.
Dreamy night

Acrylic on canevas 12 x 36 in. A full moon night, sitting in my car at Point Holmes, Comox, BC. The moonlight got caught in the small dreamcatcher I have on my mirror.
"Magic of nature"

Acrylic on canevas 18 x 24 Blue lilies... What a beauty and too bad they don't exist! This painting pictures the feeling you have when you go out in a garden on a sunny day: the peaceful and stunning environment leave you with a feeling of love enchantment and that reminds us that anything is possible.

Nature and flowers 12

Who isn’t touched by natural landscapes, flowers, mountains, rivers? The vibrant blue, purple or red of flowers, the infinite shades of green in one single leaf, the deep blue of water and the stunning reflexion of light on its surface are breathtaking. If you look closer, you will notice that a flower changes color and even shape many times in one day, due to the light around it. Painting light is a challenge I keep on trying to master because light can transform the most ordinary objet into a stunning painting. Painting nature also teaches us that nothing is perfectly symmetrical, straight and that’s exactly the beauty of our world : everything is unique.

Nature is the best at playing with colours and my paintings are a tribute to the beauty that surrounds us.
