Artist

Good morning !

My name is Valérie and I welcome you to my creative world.

Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've always loved drawing, painting, and exploring shapes, lines, and colors. Over time, working with wool has become my preferred means of expression, allowing me to add a sensory dimension to my creations.

I create abstract textile works inspired by nature, harmony, and the landscapes that surround me here in Canada, as well as by my years spent in Austria and the many places I have been fortunate enough to discover during my travels. Colors, natural rhythms, and soft or vibrant contrasts constantly nourish my creative process.

My works are abstract, but never devoid of meaning. Each one carries an intention, an emotion, an atmosphere. They deliberately leave room for interpretation, so that each viewer can project their own sensibility, their current mood, their memories, or their emotions onto them. The same piece can tell a different story depending on the gaze that contemplates it, and it is precisely this silent dialogue between the work and the person who discovers it that moves me most.

I work exclusively with very high-quality materials, carefully chosen for their beauty, durability, and softness. I primarily use merino wool as well as 100% New Zealand wool to offer creations that are aesthetically pleasing, durable, and enjoyable to the touch.

I am very happy to be able to share my work with you through "Atelier Cent Dessins", my little creative haven, where each piece is made with care, slowness and passion, and where each work tells a piece of my story while leaving room for yours.
