Based in Canmore Alberta, Pascale Ouellet has been a full-time visual artist since 2005. An accomplished representational artist, she creates imagery that speaks of farming, climate change and the ever-growing of human impact on the landscape.
"Although my native province of Quebec has shaped the person I am, my adoptive Alberta has transformed the artist I have become."
During her formative years in the mid 90s, Pascale has completed a diploma at Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf in Fine Arts and Communications, attended the Visual Arts Program at the Université du Québec à Montréal and completed an Interior Design program diploma at Inter-Dec College in Montreal. After moving to Alberta in 2002, she has been largely self directed in her artistic pursuits – participating in artist-residencies across Canada, collaborating with other artists and teaching when time allows.
Since 2004, Pascale has produced 30 solo exhibitions, participated in more than 40 juried group shows across Canada, and been awarded four Public Art Commissions by the Town of Canmore. She has participated in four artistic residencies at The Banff Centre and have been selected as a 2015 artist-in-residence with TRACS program on Fogo Island in Newfoundland.
Pascale Ouellet is represented by galleries in Western Canada and the USA and her work is in corporate and personal collections across Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Norway, Switzerland, Argentina and the United Kingdom. Her work is also in these permanent collections: the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the University of Regina and the new BMO Centre permanent collection.
