It is by creating the scenery of an animated movie, at the end of the course I took in Visual Arts while attending Laval University (Quebec) that I discovered dried pastel. The sky, the clouds and all theses special atmospheres interested me since my childhood. Since 1976, Chibougamau saw the birth of many hundreds of my work of art as well as a unique planetarium. Astronomy is at the heart of my life as much as it is at the heart of my creations. Sometimes I create nebulas. Each drawing becomes an adventure.
