The Artist

Desneige Meyer comes from a long line of women artists. She spent her youth drawing, painting and sculpting for fun, and sold her first painting publicly at 15 years old.

Desneige studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design as a Glass Blowing major, with a minor in Sculpture. She found great fascination with the human form, and focused much of her attention on trying to capture the essence of life. Before long she discovered the process of lifecasting and was delighted to have the ability to work with such a detailed casting medium.

After taking a year to explore the art world in Europe, Desneige and her family settled in Abbotsford, British Columbia, where she started Memory Castings – an all encompassing lifecasting business servicing families, expectant and new parents, and pet owners with castings of the people and pets they love.

Desneige was awarded the Gloria Foisy Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2006, and was nominated for the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards in 2007.
