Biography

At 12, he painted Quebec's old port. The painting depicted stevedores, boats, docks, the river, and the cap Diamant. His paintings during this period showed influences from countryside landscape artists.
As a teen, he studied under Jean Paul Lemieux and held his first solo exhibition at 17. He later worked with copper from Château Frontenac's South turret remains.
