Mes baleines: l’œil d’une artiste sur le Saint-Laurent
For 15 years, my husband and I have visited the Grandes Bergeronnes to observe the whales in the St. Lawrence River. What began as a kayaking adventure turned into a peaceful tradition, one where I, an artist and natural observer, began to notice unsettling changes. Fewer whales, rarer blue whales, and an increase in human activity all signal a disturbing reality. In this blog, I explore how human impact — from noise pollution to climate change — is affecting these giants of the sea, and how my art aims to spark awareness of this ecological shift.

Wetlands: The General Opinion
Yes, they’re full of bugs, mosquitoes that never seem to end, and sometimes, they smell bad. For property owners, wetlands are often seen as a nuisance. You bought the land to build a beautiful home, have a lush green lawn, and maybe even a pool. But there’s that annoying swamp in the back that’s in your way. I get it. It’s frustrating. It’s normal.
But hold on before you grab your backhoe.
Le caribou
Until recently, I was a city girl. Concrete, pedestrians, and well-maintained green spaces were my world — and caribou were nowhere to be seen. But when I learned about the disappearing caribou in Gaspésie, I was shocked. Habitat destruction, logging, and human development are driving these magnificent creatures to extinction. In this blog, I share my emotional exploration of how we, as humans, have disrupted their lives — and ask the question: Can we still save them?
