Isa Sevrain

I am a ceramic artist who makes hand-built mosaics and mixed-media art instal­la­tions.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada. Originally I am from Berson near Bor­deaux in west south France. My child­hood was infused with the cul­ture of a tra­di­tional French vil­lage, gos­sip and old stones, accor­dion "flon­flon" and Strauss waltzes, not to mentionAugust carnival.

Today the focus of my work is on ceramic art, but I also work in acrylic paint, ink, col­lage, and three-dimensional pieces and mixed media instal­la­tions. My approach to every­thing I cre­ate artis­ti­cally is through dance: when I draw I dance with line; when I paint I dance in colour; and when I work the clay, I dance with its mass. Move­ment fas­ci­nates me because it becomes an expres­sion. And I plan to keep on dancing.
