Guéganne Doucet, Artist-Painter-Sculptor

Biography: This Canadian-born Internationally renowned artist has a double heritage of two first nations in Canada, Mi`kmaq and Acadian. Over the course of her career, her work has evolved from realistic to figurative realist forms and geometric abstraction. She divides her work into three aspects: representation, interpertation, and dimension. In all phases of her work, but particularly with the expressionism, she explores themes inspired by the rich art of the Mi`kmaq. She developed her realist abstract images in the depths of four-dimensioned space, evoking the continuous, cyclical sensory worlds of our experiences, past, present, and future. Her works shift and change continually and the ephemeral patterns subdivide and form again on other planes, revealing new realms of our subconscious. Her paintings play colour, time and space in musical harmony. Using colours and planes, she creates chromatic substances and surreal forms to activate and reactivate matter in order to pursue energy and fire through her use of successive, changing contrasts. She views art as vital to human nature's struggle to understand all dimensions of the universe, and hopes her works open the mysterious recesses of our memories and intuitions to our conscious perceptions.

One of the most highly decorated artists in Canadian history, Guéganne Doucet was born in the fishing village of Escuminac, on New Brunswick's North Shore. She has a private studio in Shediac, New Brunswick.

"Carol Desjarlais is a teacher who retrieves troubled youth, a counselor, a woman of Native American heritage, a soul seeker, the mother of seven and a sister of the earth.

Carol writes for no other reason than to express how the world has affected, and affects, her. She has always been a writer. Her soul has had need of expression.

The road of life is fraught with incidents of awe. That she might share her reactions to these moments with others is an honor she holds sacred."

Carol Desjarlais is the author of a most remarkable memoir, entitled, Shhhhhh: A Creation Story. This is not only a life story, but a book that positively sings with spiritual growth, the narrative much enhanced by the frequent addition of the author's powerful and commanding poetry.
