She returned to her hometown in 2007, drawing inspiration from the maritime landscape and local birdlife for her exhibitions De ma fenêtre (2015) and Corneilles: Noir sur blanc (2017), presented in several galleries across New Brunswick. From 2020 to 2022, she carried out a project focused on the world of fisheries, culminating in the exhibition and book Cap sur les pêches (2023), which document her discoveries over three years of field expeditions.
