EXHIBITIONS
Each year, Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver is proud to present five exhibitions of the works of talented francophone and francophile artists from British Columbia, and sometimes from other provinces. These exhibitions give sculptors, painters, photographers and multidisciplinary artists the opportunity to showcase their work professionally in the library of Le Centre for 1-2 months.
Each exhibition opens with a public wine and cheese reception, free of charge, where visitors can meet and talk to the artist.
Current exhibitions can be visited during the regular opening hours at Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver.

About the exhibition
About the artist
"Mes p'tites meufs" is an exploration of the feminine representation through illustration. Each piece is a tribute to the diversity of bodies, shapes, and lived experiences of women, depicted in poses and contexts that celebrate their strength, beauty, and vulnerability. Through vibrant colors and soft lines, this project invites viewers to reconsider traditional beauty standards and to celebrate femininity in all its forms.
Through female characters, often depicted nude or simply dressed, I invite you to immerse yourself in a world where women are no longer defined by imposed norms but by their own individuality and inner essence. "Mes p'tites meufs" embodies a message of inclusivity and well-being, encouraging self-acceptance and the free expression of emotions, movement, and the body.
I grew up with a strong connection to the body and movement, first through classical dance, which I practiced from a young age. Drawing has always been a part of my life, but it wasn’t until later, after exploring different artistic forms, that I discovered illustration. This discipline allowed me to combine my two passions: exploring the human body and movement, while developing a more personal form of visual expression.
Today, through my illustrations, I aim to convey a message of representation and empowerment of femininity, inclusivity, and diversity. My work highlights the plurality of bodies and emotions in women, celebrating the strength, vulnerability, and uniqueness of each woman. I aspire to create a visual space where every woman can fully express herself, without judgment, and share her experiences and emotions.
My creations are also fueled by my thoughts on feminism and society, and my desire to bring color into the lives of others. I continue to evolve in my art, always seeking new forms of expression, while staying true to my passion for inclusivity and diversity.
