b. 1958
Born 1958 in Verdun Quebec. From 1987 to 1996 I exhibited and participated in the alternative project that was Galerie Pink. Situated in a storefront in the southwest of Montréal, the gallery was run by Patricia Pink and supported by a core group of artists.

Non-funded and self-reliant the gallery and its artists sought to create an engagement with art that was responsible to and directed towards their neighbourhood. Over this period I presented 8 solos and participated in 16 thematic group shows. Presentations outside Montreal include, Toronto, Chicago and NYC. From 1997 to 2005, I was an active member of the artist run centre articule where in 2003, I was co-curator, with writer Vincent Tinguely of the painting exhibition Régard à Gauche /Looking Left as well as previously collaborating in 2000, with artist Shelly Low in the site-specific event Hôpital. Since 2004 I’ve been exhibiting regularly at the reopened Pink espace. Next year, 2012 will mark 25 years with the galerie.
