While my main subjects are plants and animals, I have a lifelong interest in myth and legends. Influenced by Me too, I have started a series about women being thwarted, abandoned or deceived by men. First came Ophelia, then Danae and now Leda. I have plans for Ariadna and others. - Michèle Ouellet discovered printmaking in 2005, by chance, at Evelyn Dufour’s intaglio studio in Montreal. Two years later she leaves for Japan where she will live for close to eight years, immersing herself in the arts and the culture. She studies moku-hanga, gyotaku and all kinds of traditional techniques for working with paper and fabric. Back in Montreal, she returns to intaglio printmaking but decides to get acquainted with all forms of printmaking. She attends workshops in serigraphy, stone lithography, monotype, gum bichromate, photopolymer and collagraphy. The lithography course takes her to Atelier Circulaire and she has been working there regularly, first as a visitor then as a member.
