Noémie’s love of nature was ignited by her early travels to Africa. As a French speaking 9-year-old thrust into an English-speaking culture, she spent her time observing her immediate surroundings, studying the delicate shades of rose bushes and the large Acadia gum tree in her backyard. Her admiration of nature grew with the red and orange landscapes of southern Africa, its people and wildlife. Her initial painting lessons were taught one of Zimbabwe’s foremost talented painters.

Returning to Canada she fell in love with the ever-changing seasons, the contrast of lush vibrant colours, and the stillness of snowy scenes. Her parents encouraged her passion and she successfully entered and graduated with honours in the fine arts program of Canterbury High School. She took her creative sense and transformed it into a graphic design career where she continued to take art classes at Concordia University and workshops with renowned Canadian landscape artists. Today, she continues to paint landscapes from her home studio.
