Mylène Cave, fine woodworking and marquetry artist
Imagine that you could create any image, drawing, illustration, or custom board game with wood veneers as thin as lace! This art is called "marquetry", has existed for hundreds of years, and is not highlighted enough. I created my own marquetry techniques for 2 years after my training at the fine woodworking school of Montreal. I am inspired by Art Nouveau, the movement, the Feminine and the Sacred. I explore alternative fields like creating an Ex-Libris Tarot deck or pregnancy ultrasounds in marquetry. I am also making furniture restoration, high-end upcycling and one-of-a-kind creations.
