Elaine Ethier

My creative journey has developed throughout my career as a modeler/stylist and then principal designer in the field of women’s footwear as well as in the creation of high-end and designer fashion accessories for Quebec commercial chains operating boutiques established across Canada. The decorative art of window displays and the spatial aspect developed simultaneously.

Then, I explored interior design for the comfort, originality and durability of residential and commercial decoration with designer fabrics under license in “Screen Print” mode. A change of direction and a new professional direction on Horticulture and urban forestry; the environment, its vitality, the tree, its shapes, its colors, its time, our moment.

Reflection, Ideation, sketching, designs and achievements become the key words of my daily life. My camera has always accompanied me in these forays. Today’s Synthesis: Creative Concepts – Photography – Painting – Mix Media, capture and attempt to illustrate the effects of light or its absence in relation to the elements, through raw, original and studied media.

I live and work in the greater Montreal area, sometimes in Charlevoix and I live in an exquisite environment of the Ottawa River, Hudson.
