Ghislaine Fortin was a flat-plane carver and a maker of carved and painted Quebec couples in original costumes of the times. They were usually signed on the base of the carvings as shown. It should be noted that there were other Fortin artists doing flat-plane work. Their work was sold in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli and elsewhere in Quebec. We haven’t established the family connections as yet.
