About

Marylène Ménard is an artist specializing in a variety of ancestral glass art techniques. A graduate of the art education program at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, she taught at a high school for a number of years. After being initiated to stained glass and mosaic techniques, however, she decided to devote her full time to creating works in her studio alongside her life partner, Robert Biron, who adds a sculptural dimension to her glass inventions. She has gone on to design and execute many commissioned stained glass creations for both individuals and businesses. In 2020, she travelled to France to study the dalle de verre technique involving the use of thicker glass pieces. Her mosaic works have found their way into collections across Canada, the United States and France. Together, Marylène and Robert have participated in numerous collective exhibitions and shows in Quebec and Ontario, while solo exhibits are now also programmed at galleries across their home province. Marylène was a Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) finalist for 2018 creator of the year and has been the recipient of multiple Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) grants. She also contributes to the “culture at school” program of Quebec’s Ministère de l’Éducation, through which she leads workshops at various Quebec schools.
