Born in Abitibi but a resident of this region for numerous years, the self taught painter Chantal Leclerc has always felt an affinity for the arts.  It is in Australian Aborigines territory that she discovers artists that make her soul vibrate: by their use of colours, their symbolism and their naivete. It was in 2013.

Since then, virtual exhibitions, artists shows, personalized orders have contributed to make her known across the country as well as in Guadalupe, India and Mexico.

When she experiences a momentary overdose of colours, other monochromatic works take over. Continuous lines work, pebbles, leaves and watercolour canvases leave place for minimalist expression. The simplicity of the lines give a sense to the art in it’s most simple expression…even though a few touches of watercolour sometimes insert themselves.  The joy of living, quietude and contemplation remains at the forefront of her work.
