PROJECTS

I was very proud to win an acquisition competition this spring as part of the Policy for the Integration of Arts in Architecture. What a joy it was to attend, at the end of June, the hanging of my work Les fleurs at the municipal library of Saint-Bonaventure, near Drummondville.

Last winter, I was approached by Anne-Marie Gilbert and Sonia Gagnon, two teachers from the École primaire d’éducation internationale in Trois-Rivières to give cultural mediation workshops to their Grade 5 students. They found me thanks to the Répertoire Culture-Éducation, in connection with the program La culture à l’école of Québec’s Ministry of Education.

I had been thinking about this video for a while. The idea came to me in 2018 during my artistic residency at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts. In addition to the photographs inspired by the Celtic tale The Seal Woman, I wanted to create a video with seals in motion.

The director of the CNE, Ms. Manon Guérin, proposed that I collaborate with her team to design cultural mediation activities to accompany the photographs in my series Beyond the Looking Glass. It was the perfect opportunity to enhance this exhibition, which has already been very successful elsewhere in Quebec.

Have you heard of L’Artothèque? Dedicated to the visual arts since 1995, L’Artothèque is a library of over 3000 art works that offers original pieces for rent at affordable prices to individuals, businesses, institutions and audio-visual production societies. Located in the heart of Montreal’s Rosemont-La Petite-Partie, its missions are to support artists from Québec and…

With much enthusiasm and pride I’ll be hosting a double photo book launch this coming Sunday, December 2cd, at the opening reception for my show at the Mont-Saint-Hilaire Fine Art Museum. Beyond the Looking Glass and Northern Crossing aren’t very big publications, but they are filled with color images, feature both French and English texts,…

One of the great services offered to artists who exhibit at the Centre d’exposition de Mont-Laurier, is the production of a video about the event. These videos, that always feature interview segments with the artist, then serve as cultural mediation tools in the little exploratory space that adjoins the main show room. As a bonus,…

After nearly three months in Scotland, I’ll soon be giving a sneak peak at the project I’ve been working on during my residency at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts. Organized by TalkSeePhotography, I’ll be engaging in a discussion with artist Melanie Letoré about the ideas that have informed my image making, showing work in progress,…

Seeing my images leave the computer and come to life on beautiful fine art paper is always an exciting moment. An experience I recently had in preparation for the inaugural exhibition of my Northern Crossing series next summer at Mont-Laurier’s cultural center. The prints are big and beautiful. The work of my printer, Denis Alix,…

Yeah! The artistic-residency project I sent to Glasgow’s prestigious Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) has been selected! In collaboration with the CALQ, this exchange program between Québec and Scotland allows one artist from here to go there, and vice versa. © The Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow   So I will be leaving for Scotland…

Despite my usual reluctance at relaying chain messages on Facebook, something about the black & white photo challenge currently circulating made me want to participe. The rules are simple : publish one black & white photo a day for seven consecutive days. No humains. No explanations. And invite a new person each day to accept…

Last month, I received a cool collaboration request from Mr. Harold David, Director of the dynamic Theâtre de Die, in France, to illustrate their 2017-2018 season brochures. My pieces “Vertigo” and “The Crossing”, from my Beyond the Looking Glass series, were selected for the covers. Congratulations to graphic artist Lisa Renberg, from Atelier Boréalis, for…

In the continuity of my works on the theme of the childhood imagination, I have developed a new series of images entitled Northern Crossing which focuses on female adolescence. And more specificaly to the inner turbulences that agitate the woman in the making.

A chilling stay in Kamouraska My creative residency at the Centre d’art de Kamouraska scheduled for January had to be postponed twice because of the particularly intense cold this winter. At the beginning of the month, my husband, my daughters and I finally set off to the beautiful Lower St. Lawrence region to capture the…
