Circé's Artist Statement
My creations primarily consist of works in oils and occasionally charcoals and pastels. My process is instinctive and I?m unerringly drawn to expose and reveal the image and the moment contained therein to it?s fullest potential. I am a queer woman of transsexual origin and my art reflects an integrated queer feminism that is political, social and often emotional in nature. My art is integrated in my own personal politic and feminism, and I explore the power of this in my art.

My Bio in short
I was born In Montreal, Canada, and raised catholic though even from a young age, I had already begun to walk my own path. I was also born with a physiological condition called transsexuality and as might be imagined, this caused much consternation, eventually I was cured of it and today live life as a very happy woman indeed. I am agnostic as far as what I think about beliefs.
I grew up in rather poor settings, covering the walls of the shared bedroom with my drawings.
I began drawing as a child and the passion for lines and colors just grew as I aged. I studied at a private Art School in Montreal for about four years and participated in many art shows.
