Marie-Josée Roy was born in Three Rivers in 1968. She received her Bachelors degree in Visual Arts at the University of Quebec in Three Rivers.

Marie-Josée Roy has been painting for the past four years and has been sculpting for the past fifteen years. She is using a very new technique in painting. That of transferring photocopies onto aluminium plates, as well as incorporating images to the entire assemble.

“That which distinguishes my work is my monochrome art pieces and the way which I utilize metal. My universe is becoming more and more poetic as well as symbolic. My creative space is not one that holds limits butone that is in constant movement. It is very spontaneous, intuitive, and loving. My heart, soul, and body are all at work in unison”.
