• 36" x 48"
• Acrylic on canvas
• Artist: Danielle Lanteigne

Danielle Lanteigne reports that she always loved the direct creative process. Intuitive, even visionary, as a child of ten Danielle claimed she instinctively knew how to use the oil paints her sister had received as a gift. Danielle realized then how vast the universe she wanted to paint really was. After studying art at Concordia University and researching constantly for over a decade, Danielle saw her efforts win the Grand Prix du Conseil de la Culture des Laurentides in 1992. She honed a rigorous style under the watchful eye of Françoise Sullivan whose influence may still be seen in Danielle's drawing.

The richness of Danielle's current work is based on her knowledge and mastery of pictorial technique. The strength she has acquired in terms of division of space, rendering masses of colour and seeking out textures contributes to the overall visual effect. Danielle strives to maintain high standards and invites us casually to look at daily life with a slight smile. The constant battle between the balance of form and colour remains the viewer's initial impression upon seeing Danielle Lanteigne's recent still lifes. Danielle plays with the perspective of everyday objects. *Appraisal document included
