| My work stems from diverse influences and genres. I learnt how to draw from the street. I began as a portrait artist in the streets of Old Montreal in the early 80's. After a few years working with portraiture, I then travelled to Israel, Greece, Cyprus, and Italy earning my ride from street portraiture. It was later on that I pursued a BFA at Concordia University where I learnt how to undo what I had already known much to my dismay. I then went on to pursue a Master of Arts in the same place only to learn that art and passion aren't earned at University. Right now I am teaching at the College and University level in Graphic Arts while still pursuing creation in many forms. I love to create and love the female form as well as portraits. The works you're about to view are only an indication of what I have done. A lot of works have been lost, given, stolen or other. There will be current updates as paintings keep on flowing despite a dismal Winter. Enjoy the works and send me a line or two... Liliane... |
