Biography

Joséane Brunelle was born in Montreal in 1964, into a home where she was taught to appreciate art from a very young age.  From the moment she could hold a pencil, she began drawing faces - always fascinated with the extraordinary and powerful emotions, conveyed through such subtle movements.  Through the years, Joséane has never found a subject richer in semantics and expression than portraiture, which holds a fundamental place in the history of art.  Willem de Kooning was once asked: “How could one still paint faces?” to which he responded: ”How can one not”?  A person is a universe, and to Joséane, an endless source of inspiration.
