Premier prix de l'exposition annuelle WASM 2023


36x30 in/po

Mon tableau Les pieds dans l'eau a gagné led premier prix lors de l'exposition annuelle du Women's Art Society of Montreal en mai 2023.

J'étais entourée d'artistes chevronnées sur les murs de la Galerie Gora rue Sherbrooke à Montréal et je suis fière d'avoir été reconnue par le jury.

Le tableau fait partie de ma série LEGATO et est disponible dans mon atelier.

I am a Canadian expressive figurative painter originally from Quebec City.  I studied drawing and painting at the Visual Art Centre in Montreal and over the years followed numerous workshops with local and international artists. I added encaustic image transfers to my practice and started doing clay sculptures during  stays in Mexico. 

The faces and figures I paint are vectors to blurred impressions, memories and feelings I aim at rendering in an imagined world.  Gestural mark-making and an intuitive sense of colour result in painterly surfaces where fragile beings take form in a mode of expressive figuration.  

As I continue working with this series I discover new ways of expressing occurrences of absence that never cease to touch me. 

I work daily in my studio in Montreal where I live, except during summer months where I paint in Vermont in the garage I transformed into an open air studio.
