I got into jewelry design as a teenager, when I first saw the beads & wire style from the West Coast in the early ‘70s. At the same time, I joined two master jewelers who were just starting their studio in Montreal, offering classes. I then discovered the lost wax process and learned the traditional construction technique; European and Scandinavian style. Two years later, I was on my own.
All of my collection are developed the same way, by finding my personal point of view on the physical and sociological surroundings: the elements of life, no-tech jewelry, city landscape and cocooning are some examples that have been developed over the years. Then, constant research involving new techniques such as electroforming, documenting and always trying different approaches helped me in refining my own style. Now, getting older, I’m more playing with my skills rather than working with them, always trying to have a passionate relationship with the present moment. My latest collection is inspired by Frank Gehry’s residential architecture; integrating various sculptural element into a supportive environment. As an artist and a person, I’m proud to have received many formal and personal recognitions. Among those, being recognized for my long term contribution in the art community by receiving the Grand Prix de la Culture and being nominated Honorary Citizen in my own town are two important moments because they came after highly acclaimed awards like the Prix Jean-Marie-Gauvreau (not family related), participating in prestigious exhibitions or winning contests. I have also created and produced many bronze trophies, even submitting for the Grammy Award this year. We lost in the final round to Frank Gehry’s group.
