She is a rewarded artist (First Mention, Silver and Gold Medals). She is a member of Culture Lanaudiere, R.A.A.V., C.A.P.S.Q. and of the A.I.B.A.Q. She is drawing since she was a little girl. When she received her first art box (oil colors and brushes) at 14, she found herself her life-time passion. She developped her own technic, while visiting famous museums in America and Europe, trying to capture the secrets of lights and shadows. Portraits and historic paintings are her favorite subjects. A few years ago, she discovered the acrylic medium, her work took a new turn, mixing abstracts backgrounds and realistic figures, letting the soul of her models appear through the lines and shapes. www.madeleine-st-georges.com
