I am a lifelong artist turned educator and freelance 3D artist, specializing in 3D animation, modeling and digital sculpture. My mother emphasized education, which guided me to teach and shape future talent. I love creating new art, exploring digital expression, and tackling new software and techniques. I believe art forms the foundation of a great digital artist, not the tools; I'm proud that hundreds of graduates in Montreal and beyond have gone on to contribute meaningfully to the field.
