creating art you can wear
Anne-Marie Chagnon was born twice. The first time was when she came upon her mother's jewellery box as a little girl. The second was when she began creating her own jewellery and established her company in 1995. With a keen imagination, this fine arts graduate from the Université du Québec à Montréal is now easily recognized for her unique handmade collections that playfully push boundaries and showcase familiar materials in an all new way. Pewter, wood, resin and glass come alive in her hands, simultaneously revealing their primitive, sensual and joyous sides. Their shapes are sometimes crude, sometimes minimalist and sometimes whimsical. And yet, they combine perfectly. Finally, she breaks new ground with cleverly designed pieces that can easily be transformed from necklace to bracelet to earrings. They're nothing short of revolutionary!
Cherished for her ingenuity and original combinations, Anne-Marie Chagnon sells her jewellery-sculptures all over Quebec and Canada, as well as Europe, the U.S. and Australia. In 2003, Cirque du Soleil commissioned Chagnon to create a special collection for their Dralion show, and since then she has released new collections each year exclusively for sale in Cirque du Soleil's boutiques around the world. As a genuine tribute to personal expression, each of her creations is art you can wear according to your whim.
