Mariette Rousseau-Vermette once explained her inspiration: "Working with noble materials, be they old or new, permits an evolution to unite tradition with high technology. Scientific discoveries permit me to explore new fields of research. Nature has been a tremendous influence on me since childhood, a great source of enthusiasm and energy. My goal is to create a harmony between light, color, the richness of the materials and the environments where my works are situated. What a privilege to have chosen a form of expression that is so passionate and without limits."
