THE PURPLE NOTEBOOK SAGA
Tome 1 Legacy
The story
One day, I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by the author N. Ellion, who, having appreciated my artistic style, asked me to read the novel *Héritage*. Once I had finished reading it, the author invited me to participate in a project, and I was thrilled at the idea of recreating the portraits of five U.S. presidents. Drawing inspiration from the novel, I highlighted the dark side that lived within them—a side that contrasts with the polished, flawless images we’re familiar with. It’s as if, after their deaths, they were elevated to the status of deities. What man can claim to be perfect? What emotions will you feel when you discover my paintings? Will you be horrified, captivated, or even shocked?
Why was I chosen?
I love all forms of art. However, sculpture is one of my favorites. Armed with patience and meticulous attention to detail, I recreate all my paintings as sculptures. Whether they are figures or a triptych, the three-dimensional presentation becomes particularly interesting.
I, Fabienne Rancourt, a painter and sculptor who has been working in my studio for many years, would like to thank N. Ellion for giving me the opportunity to participate in this project.
