I started drawing under the direction of my father and playing with paint at an early age. These activities soon became pure necessity, like the need we have to breathe. I did and continue to create for my own joy and fulfillment, hoping to convey these same feelings to my viewers. I consider myself as self-taught for, only after experiencing some success in my trade, I attended L'Ecole des Beaux Arts de Montreal and North Light Art School. I studied under the supervision of prestigious Artists such as Georgh Rausch, Charles Sovek, Conrado Contreras and Luisa Julian. I feel extremely blessed to have ever since, received enthusiastic responses from collectors the world over and have participated and won many awards in several shows in Canada: Montreal, Ste. Genevieve, Laval, Festival des Arts Joliettel, in Mexico: Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara, Calle del Arte, ASA - Ajijic and in the United States: Silver Spring (private show), French Embassy (Alliance Francaise) in Washington DC. Several of my paintings have been used to illustrate books in Russia, Mexico and Canada. My paintings were among the five Best Sellers at Paintings Direct USA from 1999 to 2009.
