Adrienne Samson-Fortier. Saint-Prosper, Cte Beauce, Quebec. Active mid to late 20th C.
Adrienne Samson Fortier modeled the world around her. Using every kind of ‘as found’ material including wood – Pine cones- glass etc. She made decoupage objects in paper and plywood; painting them always. She carved small animals and made models of buildings. She sometimes used sugar cubes and attached pieces of glass to make things sparkle. Her tools were simple and all her materials were ‘as found’. She never signed her work.
