Marie-Claude Fournier

I paint the same way I live, with passion, joy, and optimism. Color is my raw material, and nature my main source of inspiration».

However, painting has always taken an important place in my life.

In 2015, taken by an urging need to communicate beyond words, I started painting every day, which lead me to participate in various solos and collectives exhibits.

While creating, I use acrylic and mix media on paper, canvas, or wood panel. To my main acrylic medium, I add other media such as paper, fabrics, ink, sculpting grout, thick pastel, and air paint.

I play with forms, colors, and textures. I do not wish my work to represent reality. I simply let myself be guided by the colors coming from the stroke of my brush or knife.
I am very fond of my favorite subject: the flower.

However, I do not limit myself to it.
My main goal is to explore, for the road to discovery is endless and so stimulating.

You May also find my painting and my collage in private collections in Québec, France, Spain, England and throughout North America.

I have obtained a degree in Social Work (1993), and in Management (2014).

From 1997 to 2003, I studied arts at St-Mathieu Community Center, at Saydie Bronfman Center, and at Université du Québec in Montreal.
