 Having secured a Canada Arts Council bursary in 1962, she travelled with Ulysse Comtois throughout Europe for the next year and a half.This was a productive period and she sent large groups of works home; the beginnings of her hard edge style also began, where more well defined masses or wedges would evoke vibration, movement and collisions.In Italy she showed at Spolete, won a gold medal at Piccola Europa in Sassaferator, and met Russian born sculptor Kosso Eloul.
