A Love of Nature and a Passion for Sculpture!
I am an ardent outdoorsman and my love of nature has found its way into my art. While a part-time artist, beginning as early as the '70s, I completed over sixty stone sculptures, six bronze, and several, Dye Sublimation Into Aluminum, graphic art series. These days I am pleased to be able to concentrate on art full time and expand my portfolio.
I have not sold through accredited galleries for some time, but now that I am a full time artist and have more pieces on hand I am open to gallery representation in Quebec and western Canada. All but a couple of my stone pieces are sold and I will only be creating new works next spring when I acquire new raw serpentine stone from Newfoundland.
My new place in Lavaltrie, with its large windows looking out over the St-Lawrence River, is a great studio for my clay-to-bronze work.
I have started work on a series of wild-life heads, bison/lynx/wolf, inspired by some of my recent graphic work.
And, I am excited about the Clay-to-Bronze, Portrait Sculpture Studio/Atelier de Sculpture de Portraits, I am offering as of January, 2027.
Through my 50+ years of sculpting, in Stone and Clay-for-Bronze, I have gained a wealth of knowledge I can now share. My clay-for-bronze workshops will be 3 day, weekend sessions; winter, spring, and fall.
This will leave me the summer months to concentrate on stone work.
After experimenting with giclee printing on archival paper and canvas for my graphic art work, I have taken a more modern and more robust approach using Dye Sublimation Into Aluminum as my medium.
I love working with color and my graphic art work affords me the opportunity to do that.
I employ a computer vector technique that allows me to sculpt color.
