La Jacques-Cartier Through the Lens of Simon Bussieres

Exploring creativity in many forms, Simon Bussieres considers himself a singer-songwriter and scriptwriter, and sometimes even directs his own music videos. Adding to this impressive list, he also finds deep satisfaction in photography, a passion he discovered during the pandemic.

All of his forays into different forms of artistic expression are just ways of fulfilling his main drive—to create.

The inspiration for his creations often comes from his adventures in the forest. Taking solitary walks in nature gives him room to reflect and let his imagination and creativity run free.

In 2021, Québec City honoured him by displaying one of his pieces. From December 2022 to January 2023, he also had the chance to showcase his work at the Collectif 4 exhibition at Galerie TNT.
