I graduated in engraving, from L'École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal, with a specialization in lithography, at the Center de Gravure Contemporaine, Geneva, Switzerland I also hold a master's degree in visual arts, creation option, UQAM, with additional training in artistic pedagogy from UQAM. I give free training workshops, mainly in Mexico but also in other countries. My career began in 1968 at the Royal Museum in Toronto, where I won the Anaconda Prize for my work selected for the International Print Biennial.

Since then, I have had the pleasure of being selected to participate in more than 175 national and international exhibitions.
