Stephanie Rivet

Born in 1972 in Canada, Stephanie Rivet has been interested in painting and arts since her childhood. After studying mathematics at university, she changed directions and obtained her high school diploma in visual arts at the Quebec University, Montreal. She began to exhibit 1998 onwards but it was only from 2008 that she stopped teaching maths and dedicated herself to artistic creation solely.

During her studies, she explored different techniques, but painting remained her favorite way of expression. Nature is one of her biggest sources of inspiration, like the creative process in itself, which explains the use of her palette knife, an approach which leaves room for spontaneous emotions. Through the years, she has begun to use free energetic strokes where figuration and abstraction get along in a peaceful manner.

Since fifteen years, she has been exhibiting her creations in several regions of Quebec and various galleries and cultural centers in Canada and U.S.A. One can see her paintings in private collections and in Quebec and North-American company collections.
