“Ethereal visitor seems to vanish in Pier Cloutier’s ‘La Dame Blanche’, a wood-carving depiction of a magical lady who helped a poor family in French-Canadian legend. Cloutier lives and works in St.-Jean-Port-Joli, long a center for wood sculptors and now site of a school that teaches the craft to apprentices.”
