Over the past weekend, dozens of artists around the province opened their studios to the public for Culture Days (Les Journées de la Culture). Thomas Cohen, an American- born painter and collage artist who has lived in Quebec City for the last two decades, welcomed a steady stream of visitors to his Lower Town workshop on Oct. 2. He creates his intricate collages using a method he calls mosaïcarton. The cardboard butterflies flew into this piece from surprising places – Kleenex boxes and greeting cards. (Photo by Ruby Pratka)
