Jocelyne Alloucherie distinguished herself at her very first solo exhibition at the Musée du Quebec in 1973. A sculptor who successfully blends sculpture, drawing, painting and photography, she is considered one of our best multidisciplinary artists. She is known for her almost bare installations that invite the spectator into a contemplative mood. Her works are displayed all over Canada and abroad and can be found in many museums. A former professor of the visual arts and art history, notably at Université Laval and the University of Ottawa, she was admired for the quality of her teaching.
