Melissa Beaulieu

Artist member since 2021
Drummondville, Québec

Born in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada, in 1982. She is a Canadian abstract painter who is now based in Drummondville, Quebec. She most recently displayed a solo exhibition titled "Shadow" at the ARTWRK/ online gallery, participated in a group exhibition at the Marbella - International Art Festival (FIAM), Spain, the Van Gogh Gallery in Madrid, Spain, The Other Art Fair 2021 presented by Saatchi Art, and was featured in a collective exhibition called ArtCrasher in Los Angeles. Additionally, she was featured as one of three female artists in the "Emerging Artists Exhibition" running from April 2012 through July 2012 at The Gerry Thomas Gallery in Calgary, Alberta; at Galerie Luz in Montreal, Quebec; in my solo exhibition, "Life Happens" in September 2012; and at the Festival International des Arts de Montréal.

Artist statement: I believe that life is made up of a series of moments and events that evolve and shape us into the people we become. Similarly, my paintings are shaped by an application of brush strokes and colour that reflect my energy and mood at the time. I want to expose the process and allow the viewer to feel part of my painting.
