Mance Poudrier

Mance, a graduate in visual arts, spent 20 years working in interior design as a decorative painter and then as a designer. Her work has been published in several design magazines. With extensive experience in creating frescoes and murals, as well as in faux-finish and wall plastering techniques, she has been applying this knowledge to her paintings, to which she has dedicated herself full-time since 2016. A recipient of a Francophone painters' competition, her works have been introduced to the international market through participation in art fairs in San Francisco, Paris, and London. Several of her paintings were sold, but this venture came to an end in 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, she has been exhibiting solo in Quebec, in the Laurentians region where she lives. An 18-month hiatus allowed her to focus her pictorial representations on introspective imagery that evokes the spiritual dimension of being.
