Stéphanie Gauvin was born in Québec, Canada and has had a passion for illustration since a young age, which was nurtured by her family and teachers. She obtained a Fine Arts degree in 1989 and, being an avid skier, followed her adventurous spirit to the mountains of Canada’s west coast where she settled into the charming mountain town of Rossland B.C. and started a family.
Focusing on acrylic painting, Gauvin’s work reflects her love for the outdoors. Her use of bold composition, exciting colour choices, and warm tones characterize her self-taught style. After painting professionally for over 20 years, Stéphanie has become a well-established Canadian artist and has been a signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (AFCA).
Stéphanie operates her own commercial gallery space in Rossland BC in addition to being represented in galleries across Canada, such as Aven’s Gallery in Canmore, AB , Hambleton Gallery in Kelowna, B.C. and Galerie Iris in Québec. Stéphanie continues to learn from mentors and her personal process, constantly seeking new locations for inspiration and the “woah!” factor that makes her paintings speak for themselves.
