Andrée Gauthier-Schmekel with her finished painting, at the ARTS Morin Heights 20th Anniversary show, 19 July, 2004.

Andrée at her 4x6' canvas, preparing the composition for impressions of her recent trip to Nepal.	At her studio with some of her bronze sculptures.	In the studio one can see both paintings and sculptures. Sometimes Andrée makes a painting and a sculpture that compliment each other.	On June 6th, I found Andrée on the porch, drawing her composition on a huge canvas. Andrée does sculptures (vanishing wax technique), oil paintings and carved birds. We sometimes go out to sketch together, what comes out of these sketches is totally different from each other's and from what we actually saw.
One of Andrée's oil landscapes.	The house and Andrée Skating.	Andrée turning one of the sculptures to show that there are two heads to it.
