Biography

Born in 1966 in Montreal, Canada. Isabelle Faucher was educated in North America and Europe.

After working in Africa for many years as a wildlife biologist and conservationist she moved to Europe and devoted herself to sculpting full-time.

She now lives near Montpellier in the South of France.

She sees sculptures as an extension of her studies in behaviour: seeking her inspiration from observing all living things, which includes subjects as diverse as children, birds, or marine invertebrates, how they move, and how they interact with their environment and with each other.

She has a special affinity for horses. They share her life and her work has evolved through frequent interaction with them.

In her sculptures, she tries to capture the quintessence of her subject, in a dynamic rather than a static state.

She has chosen bronze and the lost wax technique as her favorite medium. She uses different patinas to convey colour and thus to add an emotional dimension.

She has travelled extensively thoughout the world and impressions from these travels heavily influence her work.

Ms Faucher’s sculptures are found in private collections worlwide. In addition her work has been shown in various public exhibitions and international art fairs in both North America and Europe as well as in galleries in North America, Europe and Africa.
