Marie Catherine Péloquin was born in Montreal in 1967, and studied art history at Laval University in Quebec City.  While studying at Laval she developed a strong appreciation for visual artists and now considers them almost supernatural.  She quickly learned that in order to be an artist one must first appeal to the emotions of art lovers and in this regard, she has much to offer.

Since Marie Catherine believes that art is to give “ones self without restraint”, you can imagine that she paints enthusiastically; she literally attacks each canvas with both hands, getting as much paint on herself as on the canvas.  In her hands the elements are transformed into a multitude of emotions from which springs a vital energy.

Marie Catherine has exhibited her works extensively in Canada as well as in France and Italy.  Currently her paintings are in galleries in Montreal, Charlevoix, Magog and, most recently, Oakville.
