Lynn Garceau, artist

Lynn Garceau was born in Grand-Mère, Quebec, in 1960.

Lynn Garceau was introduced to painting by her mother at a very young age. In 1992, she discovered that the spontaneous nature of watercolour was well suited to her personality. Garceau’s new interest quickly became a passion as she studied and worked with different well known Quebec watercolorists. Today she works mainly with acrylic, a medium she handles with the same ease and spontaneity as watercolour.
