About the artist
Sarah Bertrand-Hamel lives and works in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. She holds a Master in Fine Arts from Concordia University (2014). Curious and attentive to the materials she uses, she developed a great interest for papermaking, which became fundamental to her artistic practice.

In 2017, she was the first prize winner of the Valcellina Award (Italy) and of the Paper in Particular annual exhibition (United States). Her work has been exhibited in Canada and internationally, most recently in Japan where she also studied Japanese papermaking as part of two artist residencies. Her works are featured in public and private collections, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (Canada) and the Museo national de la cerámica (Mexico).
