I started painting a tree behind my house for my kids.

I enjoyed it so much that I bought a how to book by Readers Digest, with step by step projects. I then took watercolor courses for many years. With my paintings, I endeavour to convey the beauty of the world.

I work from pictures that I have taken in Montreal or during trips to the Carribean, the US East coast, Greece and Israel. Palm trees are omnipresent, because they remind me of my childhood in Casablanca and Gibraltar. Beaches and cityscapes also inspire me.
