Nicole Geoffrion
Nicole has always been fascinated by colours and their beautiful possibilities. Growing up, she took every art class offered at school. She went on to pursue her passion studying visual arts, and obtained a Graphic Arts and Design Degree from Laval University. Shortly after graduating Nicole moved to Calgary and started a family.
Nicole's art practice further developed after taking a series of classes in drawing, watercolour, and acrylic. "I was able to approach acrylic painting more freely and fell in love with this medium. My artistic expression has flourished with the transformation of my process. I use a spontaneous application of colours into abstract shapes. These shapes guide the many symbolic images that fill my mind, which then take their place on canvas when their turn comes."
In her creations, the graphic design world is beneath the surface and feeds her expression. While using shapes, lines, forms, textures, contrasts and colours, Nicole creates worlds made up of observations in her environment. The subjects in her paintings are diversified—they represent the natural world, animals, everyday objects, or scenes painted in my own interpretative and whimsical way. Her work reflects happiness, joy and wonder through design and colour.
Over the years, Nicole has had a number of exhibitions. In 2019, she was especially thrilled to be an artist in residence, at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. My residency project will begin touring in 2022 when COVID-19 restrictions allow.
