Vancouver indigenous artist, Judy Chartrand, uses her art to give voice to her experience and observations of the indigenous experience in North America.

In an article contributed by noted writer, educator and artist, Amy Gogarty, we can see not only the art but also “hear” the passion underlying Chartrand’s works.

Judy’s titles can have a wicked wit that expose deeper actual pain. And yet she can then take joy in natures’ colours and forms as she incorporates images and styles of other indigenous cultures. She has also created architectural scale works that move her beyond the museum and collector orbits.

Share Judy Chartrand’s own story and her art’s stories.

Jean Cartier (1924-1996) Page Added To studioceramicscanada.com

Mature Jean Cartier

Mature Jean Cartier

I have added a page on renowned Quebec ceramist and muralist Jean Cartier. Ironically less known outside of Quebec today he was a major and inspiring influence in ceramics, especially during the 1970s to the 1990s.  His vision and techniques crossed stylistic and technical boundaries.

His contributions to studio ceramics and public art should be more widely recognized. I hope the page will help.

Alain-MarieTremblay Page Added To Studio Ceramics Canada

tremblay portrait young website v af4a0fb2173213fc-Alain1I have added a page on Val David, Quebec, ceramic sculptor, muralist and potter, Alain-Marie Tremblay.

His work spans over fifty years and includes the functional through to sculpture, tiles, architectural facades, murals and portals. His media include stoneware, porcelain and bétonique, the clay/concrete medium he developed.

His work has also been extensively recognized, exhibited and collected internationally yet he stays true to Val David to create his works.

Enjoy the life and work of Alain-Marie Tremblay.
