Les Futes

Nicole St-Pierre was born in Montreal in 1953. A self-taught artist, she has been painting for more than 27 years. St-Pierre has a long list of shows to her credit, held in a variety of places, including Montreal, Magog, Sherbrooke, Granby, Laval, Outremont and Ottawa in Canada, as well as Florida and Massachusetts in the United States. Over the years, she has received a number of honors: in 1997, she was awarded a commission to create a fresco in a historic building in Tempe, Arizona; in 2002, she was selected to represent Canada in a special exhibition presented in Framingham, in the Boston area.

Today, her work is displayed in Montréal, North Hatley, Baie-Saint-Paul and Boston. St-Pierre draws her inspiration from her everyday life; from the people, plants, animals and objects around her.

While she is well known for her female nudes, circus artists, musicians and vivid still lifes, her allegorical animals are presently making their way onto a growing number of canvases. Her palette, rich and colorful, favors primary and secondary colors, punctuated with blacks and whites. Her various means of texturing add visual interest and depth to her work. Nicole St-Pierre’s paintings are part of private collections throughout the world.
