Canada
I live and grew up in Quebec, Canada, so I speak English and French

I started oil painting at the age of 10 and have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I don't really have any particular inspiration that influences my work because I find it everywhere I look. Because of art, I found a way to see the world through different eyes, to find the joy in the most simplest things.
Other than my passion for art, I love ballet dancing, kittens, a good movie, laughing until I'm out of breath, mangos, music, snuggling up in bed to read a good book, unicorns, really spicy food, smiling and strawberries.
