Madeleine Lemire was born in Quebec, Canada. She studied at L’École du Louvre in Paris, at the School for Fine Arts, the Académie des Arts and the Saidye Bronfman Centre in Montreal. She has had solo exhibitions in Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary and Toronto and has been part of group exhibitions in Canada, France and New York.
Madeleine’s mastery of her floral subject matter is evident in even her smallest works. Vibrant colours abound as abstract shapes take form in a composition that transcends scale through the artist’s masterful handling of space.
Madeleine was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1996.
