Is an illustrator and mixed-media artist based in Marsh Lake, Yukon.
Specializing in collage, she blends photographs, textured papers, watercolours, and pencil crayons to explore the complex relationship between humans and the natural world. Her work reflects a deep spiritual connection to place, weaving together elements of folklore and surrealism into compositions that evoke a sense of mystery and reverence.
Through the process of fragmentation and layering—both of images and colours—Virginie’s art mirrors the multifaceted nature of storytelling.
Working across both digital and traditional mediums, she begins by capturing her surroundings through photography, then digitally manipulates the colours before incorporating these images onto canvas. By blending these images with traditional media, the artist crafts dynamic, surreal, and tactile pieces that allow viewers to immerse themselves in the natural and illusory world from which she has gleaned her inspiration.
