My name is Marie-Chantal and I'm a french Canadian artist.
Although I enjoy occasional crowds, I rather be alone most of the time, I enjoy my solitude and the sound of silence. In those moments of peace, I do a lot of historical research, especialy about period clothing. I love reading or watching documentaries and biographies about historical characters. I'm still a kid at heart. I really hate today's reality and I'm miserable living in the 21st century. I try to disconnect as often as I can from this lifetime and I transport myself to my fantasy world through my art. I write a lot, I draw and paint. I'm interested in calligraphy, illumination, metal casting, pottery, stain-glass work, etc... . I'm a medieval reenactor mainly interested in the 14th & 15th century but I also cover eras as recent as the Edwardian period. I am also a fashion model, a comedian and an actress. I enjoy artistic photography and digital imaging as I used to be a professional photographer. I'm fascinated with legends and fairytales. I'm actually working on a series of books around that subject. The pictures you will see on my "Fairytales and legends" page are part of that project. Internet is also a great way of disconnecting, there are lots of wonderful people out there with incredible talent and knowledge.
I'm not that good at expressing myself with words in writing, particularly in english, so if you want to know more about me I sugest that you visit my various web pages...
The photographies on most of my pages are copyrighted but the images on my costume pages and on the reference pages are at your disposition for studies, research and documentation as long as they are used for non-profit educational purpuses but FOR NO OTHER PURPUSES.
Thank you for your interest and collaboration... Marie
