Anne-marie Faniel was born in Montreal and studied at the Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal first in viola with Mr. Robert Verebes and then definitively in classical singing, under the tutelage of Mr. André Turp, the famous Canadian tenor.

The soprano has more than one string to her bow. Multi-disciplinary artist and businesswoman Anne-Marie Faniel is also a designer and painter. In addition to her operatic career, she is the designer of the Faniel Eyewear collection. Its glasses and paintings are sold around the world.

Her pictorial talent and her sought-after color mix flow in her veins! Indeed, she is the granddaughter of the Belgian painter Alfred Faniel, named knight of the court of Belgium.

Inspired by an intense thirst for life, Faniel creates strong works and assumed as much in his collection of artistic frames as in her pictorial works. The urgency to live fully, passionately and freely are the characteristics that emerge from her colorful work.
