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. 

Lise, née à Québec, a pris des cours aux beaux-arts dans sa ville natale, où elle s’est passionnée pour la peinture. Arrivée à Toronto, elle joint le “Toronto Watercolour Society” pour quelques années et reçoit des prix d’honneur pour ses aquarelles. Elle continue sa carrière artistique auprès de différents peintres Nord Américains renommés. Lise décide d’apprendre une nouvelle technique (le faux-fini) à l’école Rittins de Toronto et reçoit son certificat en décoration.  Ensuite, elle déménage à l’ Île-du-Prince-Edward en 2008, où elle joint trois différents groupes d’artistes, enseigne et expose ses œuvres privément et en groupe. Elle a vu son art reproduit sur deux étiquettes de vin pour la compagnie Magnotta de Toronto. En 2024, elle reçoit un prix d’honneur culturel pour sa participation dans les arts par le maire de la Ville de Summerside.
