The story behind the image

Véronique discovered photography at 16 and explored both black-and-white and colour film. She later built a career in Quebec’s public service, including as a director, without ever losing her attachment to images.

In 2016, multiple sclerosis and brain lymphomas changed her life. Intensive treatment and an autologous stem-cell transplant gave her a new beginning.

Her camera became an instrument of gratitude — a way to slow down, contemplate and share the urgent beauty of the living world.

« Chaque rencontre avec la nature est un cadeau. »
