About
I was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, in 1968, and the taste for drawing and caricature developed as soon as the age of eleven. It was during a brief stay in administrative studies that I discovered the works of Rembrandt, and then reoriented my studies to the arts. In 1988, I completed a diploma in visual arts at CEGEP of Sherbrooke, and then in 1994, a bachelor’s degree in art history and studio at Concordia University in Montreal.
After further studies in graphic design at college Maisonneuve in Montreal and at the college de l'Estrie in Sherbrooke, I worked in printing, graphic design and multimedia with leading companies such as Transcontinental, Sherwood Hockey, BRP, Kimpex and Bluberi Gaming.
