I first trained as a registered nurse and eventually discovered a passion for ceramics. I retired from nursing in 2018 and I now dedicate most of my time to pottery. Being a self-made potter, I acquired my skills through books and the electronic media and by taking part in workshops here at home and internationally in Australia, the US, Belgium, Holland, Brazil and China. The summer of 2004 was my first


introduction to Western Raku. I had taken part in a


workshop at the Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Center with Peter Thomas in Saint Andrews, NB. That was it. I was hooked from then on to this type of ceramics. The complex and yet humble wabi-sabi expressive results this kind of pottery offers is the best way I have of conveying my inner soul. This style calls for endless experimentation and creativity. It involves playing with open flames which continually brings me back to my childhood summers where we built beach fires after swimming in the icy Baie des Chaleurs. My productions start through a variety of inspirations. The ideas can be from simply admiring


someone else’s work; however, my best muse is the beauty of my Maritime Provinces. The long drives taken to reach other parts of the Maritimes from my home in northern New Brunswick never cease to replenish my inspiration and ideas. I find the pristine outlines of the magnificent pines and spruce trees the most compelling of all. Working with clay is impacting the outcome for the shape of my soul. Using the experimental


and creative process of Raku Firing, my ceramics are inspired by the landscapes of New Brunswick. Ceramic objects are indestructible by both time and erosion. They can last forever. Monique lives and works in Charo, New Brunswick.
