Marie-Christine Claveau comes from the beautiful region of Saguenay Lac St-Jean, Québec. She grew up watching the tides go in and out of the Bay through the classroom windows.
After finishing a bachelor degree in Physical Education with a minor in Visuals Arts in 2001, she moved West. She first landed in Squamish, British-Columbia, where she lived in her van on the side of the Mamquam River. She spent many years exploring the whole province while playing and working in the forestry industry to finally settle on Traditional Tsimshian Territory on a small homestead in Rosswood between the Skeena and the Nass rivers.
Her favorite medium is acrylic. Her colourful work focus on the beauty of nature. She is inspired by British Columbia’s incredible landscapes, flora and fauna. She’s had many solo exhibitions throughout Canada and often work in collaboration with other artists. She is an Associate Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and an Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artists. She loves the opportunities artist’s residencies offers. One of her favourite residency experience was in 2018 at the Khutzeymateen Wilderness Lodge where she felt deeply inspired by what she appreciates most ; being surrounded by grandiose, raw nature. Some of her public work can be seen at Furlong Bay Provincial Park and in and around the downtown area of Terrace, BC.
