Monique Ste-Marie, a graduate of the Centre des textiles contemporains de Montréal (2012), is part of this new wave of textile artists who put traditional savoir-faire at the service of a resolutely modern aesthetic vision. Her studies in graphic arts and her background in multimedia production feed her research in the spheres of fashion, interior design, and visual arts. Since 2012, her works have been exhibited in Canada, the United States, and Japan. Most recently, she was one of the ten finalists for the 2019 François-Houdé Prize (Montreal, QC).
