Dianne Papillon first studied painting with well known Quebec artist Albert Rousseau, in 1973. Later on, she received her bachelor's degree in visual arts from Laval University. Papillon is a multidisciplinary artist, her work wavering between figuration and abstraction. Her paintings are very expressive and painterly and are the result of a personal exploration of colour and texture.
