I create art to be experienced, not simply observed.

My work begins with movement, emotion and the human relationship to space. I am interested in what happens when an artwork moves beyond being an object on a wall and becomes part of an experience — when it shifts the atmosphere of a place, draws someone closer, awakens a memory or allows them to recognize something of themselves within it.

I work intuitively with bold colour, expressive marks, layered textures and recurring symbols. Xs, circles, targets, lines and gestures appear throughout my visual language because their meanings are never fixed. An X can mark a destination, signal danger, represent a kiss or tell us where to sign. A target can be something we aim toward, but it can also represent vision, intention and the place we choose to move toward in our lives.

There is a musical quality to the way I create. My background in piano continues to influence how I understand rhythm, tension, repetition and movement. I often work with both hands, allowing different gestures and visual rhythms to develop simultaneously, almost like separate melodies becoming part of one composition. What may initially appear spontaneous or simple is built through layers of movement, instinct and response.

That same language extends into my public work. In La Vision, a permanent ceramic mural created for the Boucherville Rowing Club, the target becomes both a reference to the focus required in rowing and a metaphor for personal vision. Like a stone entering water, our choices create ripples. One movement affects another. One mark changes the whole.

I don't want to dictate what someone should feel when encountering my work. I want to create enough space for them to bring themselves to it.

The most meaningful encounters happen when someone doesn't simply say, “I like this,” but recognizes something personal — a memory, an emotion, a moment in their life, a place they are moving toward.

Ultimately, I create spaces: physical, emotional and imaginative spaces where colour, movement and human experience can meet.

PLAY LOUD is the philosophy that lives beneath the work — an invitation to feel deeply, express boldly, create freely and take up space.
