Celebrating Joannie Rochette's Olympic Medal
In recognition for Joannie's emotional performance at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Michel offered the athlete a life-size painting that immortalizes her winning moment. The whole nation was moved by the Canadian's story, who delivered a near-perfect performance after tragically losing her mom two days prior to the competition.
Joannie is pictured wearing her silver medal next to the artist and her painting.
