Marie-Claude Asselin
Multidisciplinary Canadian Artist
Self-taught and intuitive Ottawa-based visual artist, known online as merryclaude. I create unexpected art that blends illustration, design, painting, digital media, origami, textile art and beyond.
My portfolio, in constant evolution, will show you the unexpected art that’s born between my fingers.
A little more about me
- Awards: I own 12 artistic awards.
- Diplomas: I hold a professional diploma in pastry, administration, management, and business entrepreneurship. These valuable skills allow me to run my own studio.
- Entrepreneur: I invented an all-in-one braided dog leash, usable hands-free or traditionally, for one or more dogs. A little marvel that proved incredibly useful for 12 years with my two dogs and their three-hour daily walks. I sold this leash on Etsy for several years, making many happy and loyal customers!
- Design Graphic: I worked, a couple of years, as a graphic designer for a French publisher on two origami books (Drawing Origami, Volumes 1 & 2), and undertook freelance projects such as website design.
- Homeschooling: I homeschool my children, a wonderful challenge that has certainly taught me as much as it has taught them.
- Writter: I’m working on writing a book.
