Joëlle Blouin's passion for art dates back to early childhood. She remembers accompanying her parents, when she was a young child, as they visited local art galleries, and it was during one of these very expeditions that Joëlle realized that she wanted to become a painter when she grew up!

A self-taught painter, Joëlle has never had professional training, but she excelled in the field and won several prizes along the way.

Joëlle enjoys painting abstract pieces as they allow her to be spontaneous and carefree, however it is her urban cityscapes that have brought her the recognition she enjoys today.

Joëlle's first private viewing took place in early 2008 at a trendy pub in Old Quebec, Canada.

Her paintings are now showcased in galleries across Canada and the USA. Her career as a professional painter was launched! Since January 2009, Joëlle has dedicated herself full-time to painting

In order to maintain "creative stability" she uses her own photographs for inspiration, turning them into "cubist" visions with bright vibrant touches. The artist prefers working on larger canvases though, as they accentuate the "cubic texture" of her paintings.

Joëlle's self-discipline and love of craft drives her to paint every day, but it truly takes a team effort to be successful. Joëlle's boyfriend helps to organize the commercial aspects of her career which allows her to happily concentrate all her efforts on her passion.
