Sonia Gilbert

Sonia Gilbert was born in Québec City and spent part of her childhood in the heart of the Old City. From that time on, her young eyes were filled with the beauty of those history-laden walls.

Following her heart, she specialized in etching when completing her Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at the Université Laval in Québec City. After graduation, the originality of her work won her various advanced training courses, namely at the Banff School of Fine Arts and at the Atelier de l'Île in Val-David. Since then, she has participated in several exhibitions across Canada.

One of her etchings, entitled Encore, has been selected for publication and sale in Europe by the European National Committee for UNICEF. Sonia Gilbert has been a member of the Conseil des Métiers d'Arts du Québec since 1983. In 1984, she joined the Association des artistes de la Rue du Trésor in Québec City, and she exhibits her etchings on this famous street which is renowned throughout the continent.

Her concern for details, her sensitive use of colors and the long painstaking hours devoted to her works are all expressions of love for her craft. Her inspiration is found through nature walks, travelling and life in this city which has nurtured her since childhood... these captured moments are offered to the viewer as a part of herself.

Sonia Gilbert est née à Québec et a vécu au coeur de cette vieille cité une partie de son enfance. Dès lors, ses yeux de petite fille s'imprègnent des beautés de ces lieux chargés d'histoire.

Suivant son coeur, elle se spécialise en gravure en complétant un Baccalauréat en Arts plastiques à l'Université Laval à Québec. L'originalité de ses pièces lui mérite à la fin de ses études différents stages, notamment au Banff School of Fine Arts et à l'Atelier de l'Ile de Val-David.

Depuis, elle a participé à plusieurs expositions à travers le Canada. Une de ses pièces, intitulée "Encore" a été sélectionnée par le Comité National Européen pour l'UNICEF à des fins de publication et vente en Europe.

Depuis 1983, Sonia Gilbert est membre du Conseil des Métiers d'Arts du Québec. En 1984, elle s'est jointe à l'association des artistes de la Rue du Trésor à Québec, et expose sur cette rue célèbre dans tout le continent, principalement des eaux-fortes.

Son souci du détail, son sens de la couleur et les longues heures minutieuses qu'elle consacre à l'élaboration de ses oeuvres témoignent de l'amour qu'elle voue à son métier. C'est à travers ses promenades en nature, ses voyages et sa vie dans cette ville qui a bercé son enfance qu'elle trouve son inspiration... ces moments suspendus qu'elle sait si bien capter pour vous les offrir, pour offrir un peu d'elle-même!
