BIOGRAPHY
Marie-Josée Roy : Visual Artist / Designer / Entrepreneur
The compositions on glass of Marie-Josée Roy are major, from the size of the place to which they are integrated. More than 20 years of work have shaped her works inspired by travel, architecture and imagination. After holding a parallel career as a designer and paint artist, it is the passion to create and the need to express the material that led her to develop her original technique.
