Born in 1985 in Quebec.

Since a very young age, Joelle has been drawn towards art, and since then, her talent for drawing has led her to win many prizes. She has recently finished a course in interior design at the Francois-Xavier Garneau College in Quebec.

Joelle is a young, talented artist. Her paintings can be found at the Beauchamp Contemporary Art Gallery. Here, one can contemplate two styles of hers that are both very different from one another, and yet are in perfect unison.

Her abstract production starts from a rough draft which has been entirely executed with the use of a “roller”. This gives her the basic outline for the rest of her composition. Afterwards, Joelle uses a palette knife and adds either square, rectangular, or linear touches to her painting. Furthermore, Joelle mixes her colours directly on her canvas.

Her second production tends to lean towards figuration. Here, she represents urban scenes that are inspired by her own photographs. Joelle transcends on canvas her vision of a landscape. The result being quite stunning and unusual. In both her abstract and figurative paintings, Joelle uses touches of gold paint that renders a very particular light and sparkle to her work. She prefers working on larger canvas, thus, accentuating the “cubic texture” in her paintings.
