Genevieve Lheureux

Geneviève L'Heureux was born in Montréal, Québec, Canada. She earned a bachelor degree in Architecture from Université de Montréal and, in 1994, a masters degree in History and Theory of Architecture from McGill University. She practiced architecture as principal and co-founder of Atelier in situ until 2002. The work of the firm was awarded several high distinctions and prizes, namely the Grand Prix d'Excellence in 1998 and the Rome Prize in 2001. It is in Rome that she initiated her work on shadows and developed a passion for printmaking.

Geneviève moved to San Francisco in 2000 and has since been living there with her family. She taught architecture at California College of the Arts for several years and is now focusing primarily on printmaking. Seeing the world through the architect's eyes, her printmaking work shows recurring themes of structures and rhythms, repetition and variations, and of various systems and their disruptions. Her methods of choice include drypoint, monotype, etching, aquatint and chine coller, which she uses to simultaneously convey precision and expression.

Her printmaking work has been exhibited at the International Juried 2013 Atlanta Print Biennial, both 2016 and 2017 Marin MOCA’s National Juried...
