CPSC Goes Bilingual!

By Lissa Rachelle Robillard, CPSC Membership Director & Director of Web Services

Reflected Sunrise by Gordon Webster

After a very long, patient wait and much anticipation by our Francophone members, the Coloured Pencil Society of Canada is pleased and proud to announce the launch of the French adaptation of our website. Much gratitude goes to our Vice President, Alexandra Bastien, who did (and will continue to do) the majority of the very time-consuming French translation. We would like to encourage all CPSC members to email their own French translation of their Artist Bio/Statement, so that we may add it to the French edition of their Showcase Gallery page. In future we will be striving to publish the French translation of all articles on our website simultaneously with the English version, or at least within a very short time frame of the English publication.

We are also privileged to spotlight Ottawa based coloured pencil artist, Gordon Webster as our Featured Artist for the month of September. Gordon is both the Founder and the President of the CPSC and it is a true honour to be able to take a small glimpse into his process as described through his interview. Thank you for taking the time to share your artistic venture with us, . . . → Read More: CPSC Goes Bilingual!

CPSC Welcomes New Vice President

By Lissa Rachelle Robillard, CPSC Membership Director & Director of Web Services

Taming the Beast by Alexandra Bastien

The Coloured Pencil Society of Canada is both honored and proud to announce that talented French Canadian coloured pencil artist, Alexandra Bastien, has not only become a member of CPSC, but has also consented to take on the role and tasks of Vice-President in this, our inaugural year.

Alexandra Bastien’s brilliant new work is currently on display at Centre d’exposition de Repentigny, in Repentigny, Québec. Her exhibit, titled “Fragments de secrets”, sensitively focuses awareness on the vulnerability and abuse of women in our society.  The show runs until March 13.

We are so pleased that Alexandra took the time out of her busy schedule to be interviewed as our Featured Artist for the month of March.  The glimpse she gives us into her artistic process and the journey she is on is both fascinating and inspiring.

She has also very kindly undertaken the monumental task of translating our CPSC website into French, so as to make our site more easily accessible and enjoyable for all Canadian artists. We hope to have the translation available soon.

Please join me in welcoming Alexandra Bastien as Vice President of the Coloured Pencil Society of Canada.
