Artist Statement

I have been taking pictures for over 30 years. Discovering inspiring places while walking in nature and taking the time to listen to it... waiting for the right light that will tint my photo with the emotion I feel in my heart. Light... fascinating, enchanting, transforming, seducing me every time and reminding me again and again that it is light that chooses if I am in the right place at the right time - a fraction of a second is enough to create the soul of a shot, to immortalize it or to remember that it ever existed.

Having the freedom to live in the moment. People think that being able to enjoy the present is when you have time. Every moment of your life is the present moment. Don't wait until the present to enjoy it, because otherwise it's called the future or the past.

Photography is a way for me to express myself and highlight the beauty that surrounds us. I use nature as a means of expression. It also allows me to become aware of the vestiges of nature and the passage of time. It gives me great freedom to create and express my vision of photography.
The story behind each image is unique and exclusive. That's what I like to share with people.

In my practice, I also like to bring a technical dimension by exploring encapsulate a picture with resin which adds a different characteristic to my art.

Biography

I was born in Montréal, Québec, and lived in the Laurentians for 15 years before moving to Pictou in 2022. I love nature and now live near the sea. For me, photography and sewing have always been a part of my life. My parents passed it on to me and influenced my choices for the future like doing my studies in fashion design as well as taking private photography courses in Québec. Since our arrival in Nova Scotia, my painter husband and I have had the pleasure of being part of a radiant artistic community that has welcomed us with great generosity and openness. It's an honor and a source of pride to be part of Nova Scotia's artistic community.
