I am fortunate to create in a superb studio in Complexe du Canal Lachine in Saint-Henri, an old mattress factory. I will welcome you there on Thursday, June 8th, 2023 from 1 to 8 pm, offer you a glass of wine and talk about art. Hope to see you again or to meet you...
Details on the invite below.
MICHÈLE ATKINSON is a Canadian contemporary artist. Her artwork explores the theme of absence relating to the passage of life cycles. She got interested in traces of people and events blurred by time looking at her grandmother's photo albums full of black and white snapshots telling stories of lives lived.
She developed a love of textures creating designer sweaters with the rich curly coats of the sheep and angora goats she raised on her farm. Michèle studied at the Visual Art Centre in Montreal and has since had solos shows and participated in group exhibitions in Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City and Baie Saint-Paul. Her work has been shown in international Art Fairs in the United States, England and Hong Kong as well as being in private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe.
Originally from Quebec City Michèle graduated with a BA in translation from Université de Montréal. She lives and works in Montreal, and maintains a summer studio in Vermont.
