Gossipers - Rose-Aimée Bélanger !

Photo : Galerie Saint Dizier.

When strolling on Saint-Paul street, in the Old-Montréal, keep an eye open. A block west of boulevard Saint-Laurent there is a small place, "La Placette Saint-Dizier". There, you will see this wonderful bronze called "Gossipers".

Born in 1923 in Temiscamingue County, Quebec, Rose-Aimee Belanger lives and maintains her studio in Earlton, Ontario. In 1945 she began studies at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Montreal. She married and raised eight children. It was thirty years later when she was able to return to her love of sculpture. Rose-Aimee Belanger is a sculptor of remarkable figures. Fashioned in clay, sandstone, and bronze the characters she creates are brimming with life and humor. Her subject matter is gleaned from her life experience.

Galerie Saint-Dizier, 24, rue Saint-Paul Ouest, Old-Montréal, Québec, Canada.
