Statement
I am a craftswoman with a multidisciplinary approach. My works take the form of sculptures, textile works of various sizes, and installations.
My first career as a tailor reflects my inclination to make fiber a form in space but also to use its history, its treatment, or the specific technique to create a metaphorical language. Combining gesture and intention, fiber is for me a vessel carrying multiple meanings allowing to awaken personal and collective memory through sensory transfers. I orient my practice around the themes of the psyche, human relationships and the different forms that power takes by casting my gaze, among other things, on the roles attributed to genders within the framework of its institutions.
Like many artists who came before me, I explore the connection between texts, textiles, and intuition. To do this, I use a method that combines research, writing, drawing, and the use of altered states of consciousness. Consequently, I materialize sequentially, combining technical approaches with historical resonances that carry our canonized societal memories and contemporary textile treatments.
Bio
I was born in Sorel-Tracy, I am of mixed origin (French, Algonquin) and I now live in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). At the age of seventeen I learned pattern drawing, then tailoring and tailoring (EMFB, 2002-2005).
In 2009, I opened a custom clothing workshop with the mission of breaking down the barriers between the quality of men's tailored clothing and women's clothing. Over the course of twelve years in business, I perfected my knowledge of bespoke clothing, with Rory Duffy (NYC, 2015), and in France (AFT, 2016). From 2015 to 2018, I completed trainings in needle embroidery, Lunéville crochet, and gold embroidery. I then continued an independent exploration of these practices and developed an inclusive approach to several hybrid artisanal methods in production. In 2015, my peers recognized me as a professional artisan in fine crafts (CMAQ).
In 2019, I closed my clothing workshop and explored my relationship to creative expression and research in another form. That year, I began a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Concordia University (Montreal, 2019-2024). I then used my technical skills to create non-functional works and began using self-hypnosis as a tool in the creative process. Passionate about the approach, I decided to study it. In 2025, I obtained certification in therapeutic hypnosis (EFPHQ) and became a practitioner. I work in the fields of arts and culture as well as in the coaching profession as a hypnotherapist.
