The Artist

Textured Art Born from Feelings

Marie-Claude Asselin is an Intuitive Texture Artist based in Ottawa, Canada. She creating evocative, textured artwork born from intuition and emotion. She’s a multidisciplinary artist, a constant learner and experimenter – always searching for new ways to create. Her artistic practice is rooted in intuition, employing minimalist forms alongside a reduced color palette and a distinctive asemic style – a visual language that evokes emotion and texture. Driven by a lifelong love of learning and experimentation, she consistently seeks out new media and techniques to push the boundaries of artistic possibility.

Her journey is as unique as her art. She holds a graduate degree in Pastry and Business Administration, Small Business Management, and Entrepreneurship – a surprising foundation for her highly intuitive practice. This diverse background, combined with her skills in digital art – including mastery of new software for creating captivating, textured digital paintings – alongside traditional techniques like the ancient art of origami (practiced since childhood), gives her a truly multifaceted approach.

Before becoming a full-time artist, she even spent time as a graphic designer for a Origami book publisher – and contributed to web design projects. Currently, she’s deeply engaged in a long-term writing project, a book she’s passionately developing.
