<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Biography<\/p>\n
Undoubtedly influenced by the artistic heritage that I received, my hands have always felt the need to create.\u00a0 Such happiness!\u00a0 In another life, I did some embroidery, crochet, knitting, weaving; I studied in Arts and Letters, in redaction; I worked in the administrative field.\u00a0 Around the turn of the century, I discovered quilling: the ancient art of rolled paper.\u00a0 Even though, it is little known, this technique has been part of the Quebec artisan patrimony for generations, mainly preserved in the churches or the archives of religious communities.<\/p>\n
Self-taught in my learning of quilling, I joined the North American Quilling<\/em> Guild in 2006 and the Quillind Guild<\/em> of England in 2008.\u00a0 Belonging to these two groups helps me to improve my knowledge of the technique, learning more advanced techniques and to follow the new tendencies.\u00a0 I obtained a degree of excellence by the NAGQ in 2014.<\/p>\n Today, I am retired in a beautiful setting in the Eastern Townships and I give free rein to my passion of 20 years!<\/p>\n Artistic Approach<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A new project is sitting on my work table.\u00a0 I imagine the explosion of a sketch or a photography in many dimensions\u2026. I create the composition by choosing the colors. Next comes the selection of the textures that I will obtain by handling the little strips of paper.\u00a0 Here, an empty space; there, some overlapping or a series of domes.\u00a0 To create a particular detail, I use strips of paper 1\/16th<\/sup> in width; for another, 3\/8th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The step before last is the trimming of the strips of paper that I keep as a treasure in my studio.\u00a0 Finally, the last step: a rolled strip of paper in a tool, then another one\u2026. Until I get hundreds of shapes that are placed next or on top to each other.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My fascination for quilling resides in the possibility to transform the linear strip of paper in 2D and 3D creations; to create a canvas with shades and light to form a motif with some color and dimension.\u00a0\u00a0 The subject can be realistic or fictional, quilling gives life to my imagination!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
