Les Appalaches Painting

I am a professional actress - dancer and director working in the artistic world for several years. My career led me first to gravitate on stages as a professional dancer, then, as an acrobat actress-singer-dancer, and director. With a bachelor's degree in television from UQAM, my work often led me to relate the artist's work to, image. However, I never had the opportunity to realize my passion for image in painting, except during this total downtime for everyone, and above all, the artists. Pandemic obliges! So here is a series that I would like to offer you: '' ''DURING the PANDEMIC : views from here, views from elsewhere'', that I was able to create during this obligatory downtime, which was a wonderful opportunity to look at our nature, both human and urban. So I was able to create on various acrylic canvases, a series of around fifty works, like a look at the outside that we could contemplate, or imagine. The sun as well as the light, or the absence of it, are at the heart of my artistic process. Indeed, the circle holds a preponderant place there. I am therefore pleased to present the series “During the pandemic, seen from here, seen from elsewhere” in which some of these themes are related: '' In memory of the Islands '', '' View of Candiac '', '' Under the trees, on the dock '', '' The Milky Way '', '' Village view '', '' Town view '', '' The artist, bear heart'', '' Flight, for our elders '', '' Spring and the Lady ''... It is clear that this forced stop was a wonderful opportunity to SEE and above all, to appreciate what surrounds us, and where we live ... During my career, I have often passed from actions to words. . At that time, I dance, I sing, play, write, and all this, in a multi-disciplinary context. But I never went from gestures to painting. A first for me as an artist. I consider the artist as part of a whole where the work performed is inseparable from intellectual, spiritual or emotional work. This is an opportunity for me to try, through visual art, to convey this emotion that I want to share.. I hope that this will find an echo in your heart, and it is also with great humility that I share this series with you. It is clear that this forced stop, was a wonderful opportunity to SEE and above all, to appreciate what surrounds us, and where we live... I also consider it essential for any artist to be seen or heard, because the artist is nothing without the one who looks.
