Artist’s Statement
I’m the one who drew the house. With a paintbrush and paint, I’m the one who drew a tree, birds, flowers, a cloud, a sun and a rainbow. L’Aurore Boréale (Northern Lights) house is that one there. I have been living at L’Aurore Boréale for a long time. I love l’Aurore Boréale. It’s the home of my L’Arche Abitibi-Témiscamingue family.”
