Acrylic abstract painter, assemblage artist
About the Artist
I am an artist currently based in Montreal, Quebec. I apply the principles of design received from a degree in Landscape Architecture. My pursuit in art is to explore various mediums and materials. Through experimentation, I like to find creative ways to express various moods and emotions. I enjoy acrylic abstract painting and assemblage using found objects. This could be styrofoam, wire, rope, electrical wire-anything that looks interesting and has potential.
I moved to Montreal from the States 30 years. Recently retired, I had a gardening and design business for many years. I am a self-taught artist beginning in 2024.
