Sylvie Santerre
Artistic approach
For Sylvie Santerre, creating and painting are a way of life and a necessity. A way to channel your energy, a way to express yourself and be recognized. Exploration, diligent practice, trial and error, she has always pursued her passion for 25 years.
Her favorite subject: flowers. For their diversity of shapes and colors, they give rise to an intuitive and spontaneous gesture. Interpreted in a rather graphic way, the symbolism of flowers is the attribute of the expression of love, hope, beauty and sweetness... like the visual language of the works of Sylvie Santerre.

Training
Mainly self-taught artist, Sylvie Santerre has participated in numerous workshops and courses with artists she greatly admires and who inspires her, including Seymour Segal, Agnès Riverin, Isis Dupéré, Lucie Michel, Jacques Clément, Claire Desjardins and Marie-Andrée Couture.
An artist deep in her soul from an early age, it was only at 35 years old that Sylvie really connected to her creativity. After being the owner of the Galerie L'Artiste located in the Rosemont district of Montreal for 16 years, she has now chosen to devote herself entirely to her art.
