Born in Acadia (New Brunswick, Canada) in 1957, Joanne Savoie has lived in Ottawa for many years. A graduate in graphic arts, she only became a full-time painter in 2006.
Joanne Savoie has her own style, which joins illusion and reality, abstract and image; a style that could be described as impressionistic “dreaming”. She mainly uses a spatula, which gives movement and life to her paintings. The interaction between her and her canvas is immediate. She is constantly trying to grasp the impression of the moment, the fleeting emotions that, with her acute sense of observation and her overflowing imagination, allow her to perceive ever-more intriguing subjects.
Joanne Savoie’s paintings have been sold throughout Canada, in Europe and as far away as China.
