Ysabel Lemay
Ysabel LeMay is a Canadian artist and photographer known for her intricate, large-scale photographic collages that depict natural landscapes and wildlife. Her work combines multiple photographs of individual elements, such as flowers, trees, and animals, to create a single, seamless image that invites the viewer to explore the details of the natural world.
LeMay's photographs often have a dreamlike, almost surreal quality, with bright colors, soft focus, and a sense of movement and depth. She has exhibited her work in galleries and museums around the world, and her photographs have been featured in numerous publications, including National Geographic, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
LeMay was born in Quebec, Canada, in 1966, and currently lives and works in Austin, Texas. She began her career as a painter before transitioning to photography, and she draws inspiration from a range of sources, including the natural world, art history, and her own dreams and memories.
