Marie-Claude is Canadian and speaks French and English
A landscape architect by training, she is passionate about photography, nature and travel. She has been learning the art of photography with Alan for 3 years now.
She began her career with Parks Canada where she worked for 5 years as a landscape architect and then continued in the federal government in administration for more than 25 years. Entrepreneurial spirited, Marie-Claude designed several development projects in parallel with her career in government. In addition, she recently obtained a graduate degree in business management from the University of Sherbrooke. Jack of all trades, she did a little painting, she wrote articles on planning for the Fermont newspaper, she gave breastfeeding lessons, she was also involved in several volunteer committees.
Her taste for nature led her to create a garden with native plants using the shade garden collection offered by Indigo (now Aiglon Indigo). The layout of its current garden offers an unusual landscape specially designed for photography which is constantly evolving.
Mother of three children, Marie-Claude developed a love for cooking. One of his specialty: a good Moroccan Harira soup.
Marie-Claude's dream is to welcome you to Quebec so that you can enjoy a moment of relaxation and artistic creation with photography as a medium of course.
