She enrolled in art classes out of simple interest\u2026 then discovered she possessed a real talent. A few years later, a move to the North changed everything: she explored, she experimented, she pushed her limits. She immersed herself in community art classes, discovering the palette knife, textures, and the freedom of movement.<br \/>And then, something clicked.<br \/>Very quickly, the palette knife became her language. She abandoned traditional brushes, driven by the desire to dare, to create differently, to let the material speak for itself.<br \/>Then one day, fate knocked on her door\u2014literally. Right next door was a stained-glass workshop. Curious, Chantal went in\u2026 and that moment transformed her practice. She learned about glass and fusing. She specialized, enriching her art through inspiring travels: the colors of Mexico, the patterns of Morocco, the light of Italy.<br \/>She then understood that her glasswork was a reflection of her paintings: the same energy, the same movement, the same instinct.<br \/>Today, Chantal creates without fear.<br \/>She dares.<br \/>She revels in it.<br \/>She fuses what she loves: the spontaneity of the palette knife and the light of the glass.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
