“I can remember precisely when I discovered the Urban Sketchers website, because I could hardly sleep that night. It was October 2011, and I had just returned to drawing and painting after a very long break, so to find like-minded people who posted their location sketching was so exhilarating that…well, I couldn’t sleep.
This is why I am truly honoured to be part of Urban Sketchers.
I have always kept travel sketchbooks but daily drawing was not part of my life until very recently. Now that I have started, I can’t really stop. I have a daily sketch blog where I post mostly the everyday stuff I see around me in Montreal neighbourhoods, but also glimpses of other places, when I am fortunate enough to travel.
My career is graphic design but my true love has always been watercolour. I started painting as an adolescent, travelled to many places, took lots of workshops and then put my paints away for a long time. I am thrilled to have dusted off my brushes and to have the opportunity to share my work with the world.”
