Pauline Paquin Born in Sainte-Monique Quebec, Pauline Paquin is the mother of three sons. She is currently living in Ste-Adele (Laurentians) where she carries on relentlessly what she started in 1979.
Self-taught painter, she worked as a nurse in the school system. The fascinating world of childhood, with all the imaginary, the spontaneity and the simplicity that goes with it, is at the center of her work.
Pauline Paquin, a figurative artist with an acute sense of observation, an undeniable flair for details and an explosive color palette, carries on her mission and put to life on her canvas those magic moments of childhood. She puts into her painting her sensitivity, a sensitivity with a touch of souvenirs, of mothering, of nostalgia and reality, all depending on her moods when she is creating her artwork.
Each painting illustrates a unique moment, a magical moment to stay the least, of the children's universe, a world in perpetual effervescence similar to an endless whirl. The scenes, either actual or fictitious, are bringing us back to our own childhood. The voluntary omission of facial features makes it easier for us to be drawn into the painting, even if this is without our knowledge! Her art is accessible to everybody with an open mind!
