The Artist

Marie-Claude Asselin is a Multidisciplinary Intuitive Artist based in Ottawa, Canada. You may know her by her pseudonym: merryclaude, her full name: Marie-Claude Asselin, or her artist signature: MCA.

She creates evocative and textured works, born of intuition. Expect the unexpected with Marie-Claude; she is a constant experimenter and learner. Her artistic practice draws on her intuition. She enjoys using minimalist forms, a reduced color palette, and layering to add depth and complexity to her works. She also enjoys adding a touch of asemic writing, a visual language that inspires mystery.

Her background is as unique as her art. She holds graduate degrees in Pastry and Business Administration, Small Business Management, and Entrepreneurship. She worked for several years as a graphic designer for two origami design books: Drawing Origami Volume 1 and Volume 2 and as a freelancer. This diverse experience, combined with her digital art skills—including her mastery of new software for creating captivating, textured digital paintings—and traditional techniques like the ancient art of origami (practiced since childhood), gives her a truly versatile approach. Her portfolio really shows off his talent as a multidisciplinary artist.

She is currently deeply engaged in a long-term writing project, a book she is writing following her inspirations.
