Multidisciplinary Artist – Painting | Photography | Tattoo Art
I create from raw emotion. My art speaks of resilience, femininity, and inner freedom. Each piece is a fragment of lived experience — a silent yet powerful message.
I was born in Huberdeau, a small town in the Laurentians surrounded by nature and silence.
I’ve always been drawn to art. My mother says I always had crayons in my hands and a sketchpad in my lap.
My older sister took art classes in high school, and I would secretly look through her projects, fascinated.Drawing and writing were my first escapes. My school planner was filled with poems and sketches — often more than homework.
I dreamed of studying art, but life took me in a different direction. Still, I kept creating and learning on my own through occasional workshops.Painting came later, after I lost my father. It saved me.
Creating became a release — and I never stopped.Today, I express myself through painting, photography, watercolor, tattooing, and drawing.
I love anything that transforms emotion into matter.My goal: to make art a space for healing, awareness, and freedom.
Artistic Statement
My artistic practice is guided by emotion.
It was born from the need to express what words couldn’t, especially during a period of grief.
Painting, drawing, tattooing or photographing are ways for me to explore vulnerability, resilience, memory, and transformation.I often work in black and white, with symbolic bursts of color — a flower, a mark, a light.
I love blending abstract and figurative, strength and silence, pain and softness.My art is meant to make people feel, awaken, liberate — and sometimes disturb.
It’s an invitation to see differently, to feel deeply, and to connect with what is most human.
