Biography Born in Montreal on April 24, 1948, I was raised in Hull, Québec where I studied social sciences at Ottawa University and eventually at the Université du Québec, in Montréal. From then on, I worked as a researcher until 1976. In 1979, after 2 years of apprenticeship learning the art of pottery at La Poterie Bonsecours, in Montreal, I opened my own workshop and participated at several exhibitions, namely: Le Salon des Métiers d’Art de Montréal. Eleven years in practicing this art permits me to draw form, proportion and balance with expertness. Drawing with coloured pencils In 1987, crafts being no longer a must. I changed my course and started breeding Brittany spaniels, under the affix : Élevage de Rouboy, for the upland hunter. It is through this passion allied to hunting that I discovered the true essence of wildlife. As for dog portraits, training and judging pointing dogs, helps me in decrypting each breed in regards to their specific traits. The decisive look of a Brittany Spaniel, the sorrowful impression given by an English Setter as the authoritarian attitude of a German Shorthair Pointer are rendered with accuracy. The first step is to draw sketches until I capture the whole of the subject. Once this is achieved, I draw the final portrait on Stonehenge paper with Rembrandt polychrome crayons and graphite.
