De terre et d'écorce Painting

Born in Montreal, Nathalie Marcotte has been living in the Laurentians since 2004. Having grown up with a coloured pencil always at hand, she took part in her first drawing workshop in 2002. She later explored pastels, oils and other mediums, but she finally discovered her artistic calling after participating in a workshop on abstract art using acrylics, in 2012. She chose this medium for its exceptional versatility, an attribute that allows her to express herself more freely. She has been enjoying the infinite possibilities of abstract art ever since. Using a spatula and a brush, she applies fine, transparent layers of acrylic to create a visual impression of calm and serenity. Each and every work she creates represents an intimate journey within her inner self. Her works represent an ode to life and to nature's beauty. Nathalie Marcotte believes that our world is in need of kindness and inner peace, which is precisely what she intends to provide through her artistic process.
