PierRo Art Canada

is to promote the works of New Brunswick artists outside our borders.

Originally from Shippagan and having lived most of my life in Quebec, mainly in Montreal, I returned to the Acadian Peninsula for my retirement and decided to get back into watercolor in order to satisfy my great passion.

I have been drawing since I was very young. After high school, I studied for a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts. I then moved to Montreal for undergraduate studies, specializing in Art History. Worked in a craft shop during my studies and for a few years. Then I was offered a job as an assistant in the libraries of the City of Montreal, where I finally obtained a permanent job there, and continued at the Bibliothèque du Plateau Mont-Royal until 1998.

I touched on several mediums: batik, engraving, stained glass, calligraphy, mosaic to finally discover watercolor.

I was first initiated by taking watercolor classes with the watercolorist Ming Ma in Montreal. He introduced us to the real magic of watercolour.

I discovered this magic between water and color. Fascinating! I was hooked...it was clear that this is the technique I was choosing. Watercolor definitely became my medium of choice, always accompanied by Indian ink, of course.

Watercolor has always interested me for its luminosity and delicacy. I started doing it in 2003, but it was only in 2004, after my retirement from teaching, that I got into it seriously. In 2005, work in the Far North of Quebec with the Inuit inspired my first collection, and since then I have been painting full time. I draw my inspiration from nature and the activities that fascinate me. In November 2011, I opened my painting studio to the public and in the summer of 2012 I invited a dozen other artists to come and exhibit in the framework of the Shippagan Fisheries and Aquaculture Festival. The activity, a success, was motivating, and I repeated it in 2013 and 2014. Mainly self-taught, I am still indebted to the painters and teachers from here and elsewhere who guided me in my learning.
