About Lise
Lise, born in Quebec City, studied fine arts in her hometown, where she developed a passion for painting. Upon arriving in Toronto, she joined the Toronto Watercolor Society for several years and received awards for her watercolors. She continued her artistic career, working with various renowned North American painters. Lise decided to learn a new technique (faux finish) at the Rittins School in Toronto and received her certificate in decoration. She then moved to Prince Edward Island in 2008, where she joined three different artists’ groups, taught, and exhibited her work both privately and in group shows.
