Mireille Péloquin
Mireille was born in Manitoba and has lived in Alberta since 1992. She spent many of those years in southern Alberta before making Edmonton her home. While maintaining a close friendship with two encaustic artists also Mireille Cloutier and Mireille Rochon, she was first initiated to encaustic through a workshop at the Centre d’arts visuels de l’Alberta.
"The artist in me moved in after the youngest of my two sons had moved on. I have lived a full life from a happy childhood as the tenth child of a family of 13 children, youthful studies in Winnipeg, starter jobs in Montréal, living in the forests of New Brunswick, the tundra of the high Arctic and the windy coulees of Lethbridge. This new phase of my life has brought infinite joy in good measure due to shared artistic souls with fellow artists. Today, encaustic art dominates my creative being, because of its ancient roots and my ability to shape and compose by using perfectly pure Alberta beeswax, with which I’ve created a range of pieces that reflect my Prairie roots, love of the outdoors, and international travels.”
