The Art of painting
Welcome to my world of creation. After carefully choosing various wood pieces, I find my inspiration through the study and observation of the shapes and forms that they contain. Focusing on the wood grain I paint in transparency which reveals a subject or the patterns already present within the wood . I have also developed a passion for painting tree fungus, where contemplative beauty also emerges.
Vous désirez admirer une diversité incoryable d'oeuvre toutes différentes les unes des autres, venez voir tout ce que l'on peut faire avec le bois. Tout et dans la nature, il s'agit de regarder et admirer ce qu'elle a à nous montrer...

La beauté des meubles d'autrefois
Here in my shop, just on the side of Mont Arthasbaska, I create for connoisseurs Louis-XV furniture, master pieces that are rarely seen in Quebec nowadays.
Therefore it is with great care that I create the furniture according to the golden rule, in order to offer a unique piece, elegant and well proportioned.
In the French tradition, my furniture frames are constructed with tenons and mortises.
For the finishing touches the furniture is finished using a natural based varnish and then waxed giving the furniture a soft touch.
I welcome you to see my creations on the website or better yet, come visit us directly at the gallery. Either way I hope you enjoy my creations.
