Arlette never stops improving and experimenting with various media: courses in creative jewelry, stained glass and painting. She refuses to confine her art to a unique form of expression, fascinated as much by the purity of lines and shapes as by the play of colors, transparency and light. This passion is embodied in acrylic paintings, stained glass, silk paintings, etc. In 1972, she dabbled in wood and stone but opted for clay and lost wax. Although she uses various media: marble, granite, amethyst, soapstone, wood, alabaster, etc., sometimes combining several of these materials, she favors bronze.
