QUEBEC, CANADA
As a Quebec artist, I’ve been working with materials for over 30 years, mainly with paper and inks which I use in a multitude of ways. I have exhibited in Quebec, Canada and Europe, in many galleries and museums. My work can be found in many public and private art collections. I’ve been awarded several prizes, including “Artiste montréalaise” for the Entretiens Jacques Cartier, awarded by the city of Lyon, and more recently nominated in 2023 as artist of the year by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. I create abstract compositions that evoke archetypes, often referring to natural phenomena such as volcanic eruptions, wind, water, fire wind, water, fire, snow, tides, etc.) as well as to the traces of our civilization in writing, signs, symbols, emblems, etc. I’m looking forward to collaborating with writer Claire Varin, who draws her inspiration from animals.
