Madeleine Lemire, RCA

Madeleine Lemire was born in Quebec, Canada in 1940. She studied at L’Ecolé du Louvre in Paris, the Montreal School for Fine Arts, the Académie des Arts and the Saidye Bronfman Centre in Montreal. She has had solo exhibitions in Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary and Toronto and has been part of group exhibitions in Canada, France and New York.

Madeleine’s mastery of her floral subject matter is evident in even her smallest works. Vibrant colors abound as abstract shapes take form in a composition that transcends scale through the artist’s masterful handling of space.

Lemire was elected a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1996.
