Presentation:

The artist brush is a magic wand that travelled trough time. The painter is only a dreamer.

Biography and Career in Art:

The artist: Born in Shawinigan, Quebec in 1976. She studies fine art at Laval University, Quebec. Becoming very much fascinated by the work of great masters; she undertakes the study of ancient techniques. She specializes in the art of portraits and is very much inspired by certain literary and symbolic worlds. She thinks that creation is an ordeal facing as much dreams as reality

Artistic Approach:

The human being really fascinates me. With my art, I like to give rise to a reflection touching the human feeling. The first thing that I search for while creating an artwork, is the reason of its interest. In conclusion, I often tell myself that it\'s to propagate emotions that will remind us, at least for a moment, the best of ourselves.

The beauty of an artwork often resides in sharing. What I have to say, often speaks of you and me. When we were children, we knew who we were. Now, as adults, we are looking for ourselves. If an artwork touches, it\'s that the human being recognizes itself. My artworks speak to all those that know how to give and take in turns. This is an effective and confidential means of communication.

Basically, my work consists in painting and in high style dressmaking. At the same time, souls and bodies merge together. My approach is an uncommon adventure. First of all, I look for my subject. Having been drawn towards the portrait, I work in collaboration with people corresponding to my needs. Their faces and their attitudes must release what I\'m looking for. This is a very important step. Then, once the model has been chosen, I draw and create a suit to fit to its size. This is kind of modeling or a textile design. I have always loved touching and seeing together new fabrics and new ribbons. It’s creative and very stimulating. The decisions that precede the dressmaking give the tone of the character, its social position, and its nature. This is a determining step to hand down my first intentions. After questioning myself on possible accessories, I prepare a photographic session with the personage. Should it be in a real or an imaginary scene, certain structural changes are brought.

Surrounded by all its objects, the painting begins to discuss with me on the nature of its presentation. At this point, it is time to listen. Besides, the most beautiful quality in painting is certainly its meditative nature. Then, I take a direction that pushes me towards a surprising end. Guided by my values, who I am opens up and connects. Towards whom; towards what; that, I can not say. Inspired by ancient techniques, my figurative style, sometimes visionary, sometimes literary, searches for a universal path in which the human becomes the centre. Colors become emotions. We are.
