In each collection, an inspiration dominates. For weeks, sometimes even months, the artist sketches, draws, paints. The huge brainstorming allows Anne-Marie Chagnon to explore the ways of her creativity to outline the course that will be hers,  towards uncharted territory.

These first drafts are sometimes used as is, sometimes kept safely to be used in another collection, another year. It even happens that some of her drawings or details from her paintings find their way onto the jewellery. A singularly unique mark.

When she puts away pencils, crayons, charcoals, paintbrushes and papers, when ideas have become plans, the artist is ready to take it to the next level.
