Denise Breton has been putting brush to parchment now for over thirty years. At first autodidact, she later attended several workshops offered by great Canadian and American watercolorists and since presented many solo exhibitions as well as taken part in group presentations. Some of her works have taken precedence at important art contest (Salon de la Société d’Aquarelle Canadienne, Salon des peintres de la Fleur du Jardin Botanique).

Since 1995, she has been teaching from her studio with enthusiasm the marvellous technique and endless possibilities of watercolour. She talks of her art form with passion. Watercolour remains a mysterious medium, an alchemy that suddenly transforms water and pigment-saturated paper into a universe that is intense and colourful. Above the drawing and the colours there exists a certain poetry of images, a message to be discovered and interpreted, perhaps occasionally inspiring a critical reflection upon reality … What remains on paper and in our minds will become her legacy.

Watercolour, for Denise, remains a time of freedom always nurturing new vistas where time escapes her…
