Artist Statement
Over the years, I have continually cultivated my love for art, captivated by the interplay of shapes, lines, and layers that create a rich tapestry of both deep and translucent textures. In my artwork, I embrace an intuitive creative process, allowing my gestures to flow organically, guided by instinct rather than meticulous planning, as I delve into movement and colour. I fully immerse myself in textures, seeking lines and forms that resonate with me on a profound level. I work with vibrant acrylics and inks that provide stunning transparency. After crafting a lively and colorful narrative, I enhance each piece by adding fine lines to create contrast, emphasizing the overall shapes and contours. Throughout this creative journey, I find joy in deepening the artwork with colour glazes of ink. Each completed piece stands as a testament to the dynamic stories of texture and hue that I bring to life.

Manon ran a faux finishing company for a decade and has had the privilege of working with several notable clients. Among them are Public Works Canada, where she contributed her skills to the Governor General’s residence. Additionally, she has collaborated with multiple designers and architects bringing her visions to life with her exceptional craftsmanship and creativity.

A few years ago, Manon and her husband relocated to Perth, Ontario where she now finds herself  inspired by the natural surroundings - exploring colours, lines, fluidity of the winds, light and shade.
