From a studio in the Laurentians, Monique Paré paints with the same total focus and deep feeling she brought to every chapter of her life before this one. Her work spans acrylics and oils — bold portraits, sweeping winter landscapes, the lively character of animals and the natural world. She can spend days lost in a single piece, searching for exactly the right composition, the right light, the right moment to commit brush to canvas. Each painting is a hand-signed original, one of a kind, made to move people.
