Amelie Archer

Originally from Shippagan, Amélie Archer is 33 years old. Due to a lack of oxygen at birth, she has cerebral palsy. Despite her disability, she leads an active and engaged life. She graduated from École Marie-Esther in 2010 and, in May 2023, earned her postsecondary diploma in Recreation, Sport and Tourism Management from the Université de Moncton.

Since 2010, she has been giving lectures on the accessibility of public spaces and on her personal journey. She has been invited on several occasions, including at the Université de Moncton, to share her experience as a person living with a disability.

Drawing has been part of her life since childhood and, over the years, this hobby has grown into a true passion. In 2018, she began incorporating empty wheelchairs into her artwork, symbols that spark imagination and reflection. In this way, she raises awareness through her art.

Her greatest dream, beyond traveling and earning a living from a profession she loves, is to become fully independent.
