Marie has always been an artist at heart, captivated by the world of colors and shapes. During her High School years in Quebec City, Canada, she found ways to indulge her passion for painting. Attending the Sylvia Araya Painting Academy at night, she honed her skills and learned to see beyond mere aesthetics. It was her pursuit of a career that took her away from her beloved hometown. Marie set her sights on Toronto, Canada and enrolled at George Brown College and graduated with a Goldsmith degree. After a career in the Jewelry industry spanning from Toronto to Boston to Southern California, she resurrected her paint brushes and poured her talent, time and energy into her artwork. It was then that metal became a crucial element in her creative expression, evident through her skillful use of gold or copper leafing and the incorporation of metal objects in mixed media creations.Today, Marie is a respected member of the esteemed Quorum Gallery in the artistic haven of Laguna Beach, California. She actively participates in prestigious juried art shows, showcasing her extraordinary talent to discerning audiences at events like the Beverly Hills Art Show, La Jolla Art and Wine Festival, Art Walk Liberty Station, and many more.

Marie’s journey as an artist is a testament to her unwavering passion and dedication. As she continues to pursue her artistic endeavors, she creates a rich tapestry of visual delight that captivates and inspires all who encounter her work.

When possible, Lance likes to work on materials that would normally end up in the trash like used surfboards, skateboards or scrap pieces of wood for more sustainability.
