Our team is growing! From this September, we welcome two new editors of our Colour News!
Vinciane Lacroix will be writing about the news and reviews of Colour Exhibitions, while Deidre Tomlinson will write Books on Colour, the news and reviews about colour related books.
Introducing Vinciane Lacroix, editor of Colour Exhibitions
Vinciane Lacroix is a multidisciplinary artist and scientist whose lifelong passion is colour. She shares her explorations on the blog color-time.net and through public lectures, weaving together art, science, and technology.
Her scientific career began in Image Processing and Computer Vision, first at the Philips Research Laboratory in Brussels, then at the Royal Military Academy of Belgium.
Alongside her research, she pursued evening studies in photography, painting, and engraving in Brussels. Since 1995, her work has been featured in numerous collective and solo exhibitions, including the Prix de la Gravure (Centre de la Gravure et de l’Image Imprimée, La Louvière, 1997), the 13ème Prix Photographie Ouverte (Musée de la Photographie, Charleroi, 2000), and the Collection RTBF at BOZAR, Brussels (2012).
In 2022, she developed Chromagenesis, a process that recomposes the colors of masterpieces to reveal their chromatic soul (chromagenesis.net). This innovative work forms yet another bridge between art and science—celebrating the joy of colour in its purest form.
Welcome Vinciane!
Introducing Deidre Tomlinson, editor of Books on Colour
Deidre [Dee] Tomlinson is an interdisciplinary scholar, who holds a Bachelor of Science from Queen’s University, Bachelor of Urban + Regional Planning from Ryerson University, and Master of Design from OCAD University.

In addition to presenting at AIC2016: "Color in Urban Life: Images, Objects and Spaces" in Chile and being an Executive Member of the Colour Research Society of Canada, Deidre has performed and published work in the arts, design, humanities, and natural/physical sciences (i.e., literary non-fiction, biology, music, dance).
