Born and raised in Quebec, Canada, my mother and my grandmother first taught me the art of painting at the age of 4. I decided to further my studies in Studio Art at the College of Charleston and graduated with a bachelor's degree in May of 2014. Since my freshman year of College I have had the priviledge of travelling around the world. Every time we take a breath, hear a song, meet a stranger, and step outside our boundaries, our outlook on life is altered. The joy of knowing everyone experiences life differently and everything is seen differently is why impressionism and surrealism have always been my inspiration. The art of rendering something familiar in a new light and giving someone a new perspective is what makes me feel accomplished. My art is a constant expression of my inner thoughts. I am drawn to exposing realities to others while mixing in some abstraction. I hope to help people take their minds on a little vacation from whatever they are doing when they see my art.

The most important things to me are my loved ones, traveling, art, and music. And I plan on sharing all of those things with the friends to come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Excited to make new friends while traveling on a budget. I go to a lot of concerts and festivals so staying with new people is always a great addition to the adventure. I plan on allowing others to couchsurf at my place once I move to Portland in January!
