Artistic practice
Her work explores light as both a perceptual phenomenon and a material, as well as language, through the integration of words and signs into her pieces. Lemieux also uses everyday objects and materials, which she recontextualizes in sculptures and installations.
Activities and awards Lemieux has taken part in various symposia and conferences related to visual arts and glass. In 1995, she received the Grand Prix of the Biennale du dessin, de l'estampe et du papier-matière du Québec. She has also created public art integration works and interdisciplinary collaborations, including LIBER (2008), presented to UNESCO.
Her work is held in several public permanent collections, including the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec.
