Artistic wood creations, handcrafted and proudly made in Canada.

Hello! My name is Alain Dugas, and my workshop is nestled in the garage of my home on the island of Montreal. I spend a great deal of time there, so I’ve made it as comfortable as possible—though that’s not always easy with Quebec’s harsh winters!

​

Wood has always fascinated me. Though I’ve loved working with it for as long as I can remember, it wasn’t until around the year 2000 that I began using it as an artistic medium. For me, wood is a palette, and intarsia is my way of painting. There’s something truly magical about transforming a discarded piece of lumber into a unique work of art. As it passes through the hands of an artisan, colors emerge, grains come to life, and simple wood takes on a whole new dimension.

​

I am deeply passionate about my craft. Since intarsia remains relatively unknown in this part of the country, I plan to use my retirement to promote this beautiful art form and share my work with those who appreciate the warmth and character of wood. If you’re interested in acquiring a piece, I’d love to create something special for you.
