Handcrafted Manitoba Features Ste. Anne Artist

By Marianne Curtis/Dawson Trail Dispatch At the beginning of February, Ste. Anne artist Pierrette Sherwood made her television debut when she was featured on the MTS “Handcrafted Manitoba” Series. Season 2 of the series is currently available through Video on Demand (VOD) Options to MTS Cable subscribers. A special screening took place at the Park Theatre on February 7. “A perfect evening last night at the Park Theatre. So many authentic and beautiful people in the house,” Sherwood recalled of her special night. “Kudos to the local talent of Ice River Films for capturing the essence of art and life in their wonderful series of Handcrafted Manitoba, season 2.” The second season of Handcrafted Manitoba is now playing on MTS, VOD under ‘Stories from Home’ and features four episodes of approximately 10 minutes each. The first story, ‘Reinventing the Steel’ features Sherwood’s story as a reclaimed metal artist. In ten minutes, she shows immense courage by walking away from a secure job to follow her passion as an artist. She shares the spotlight with three other artists. For the past three years, Sherwood owned an antique and artist’s haven in Ste. Anne. Last summer, she shut down and returned her focus to what she loved the most, creating beautiful metal sculptures and art. This gamble paid off because she was invited to set up her first gallery show, at the Le Musée de St. Boniface Museum in Winnipeg. In 2012, she quit her job to pursue a career as a professional artist. At the time, she opened Papillon Creations, in Ste. Anne, where she displayed her art and vintage pieces to the public. She was later awarded first prize at a “Dragon’s Den”-like contest initiated by the Economic Development Corporation of Manitoba (CDEM). Her artwork has since garnered local and national media attention. You can find Sherwood’s art for sale at Lacaste Garden Centre and the Old House Revival on Young Street in Winnipeg.
