Jean Gauvreau

   Popular Artist  Star Artist

Jean Gauvreau was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. He continues to call the Outouais region Gatineau (Aylmer) his home, and his paintings reflect the culture, and seasonal moods of the area.

Jean enrolled in a technical drawing course in high school wich gave him the confidence to consider exploring painting beyond a simply recreational outlet. Jean produced his first oil painting at age nineteen and he continues to paint in this medium.

As a young man Jean worked in Graphic Arts, Window display, and Interior design. A short-lived move to Victoria BC. gave him his first gallery exhibition. When he returned to Ottawa, painting became Jean's primary interest. Relying on his skills as a graphic artist and designer to support himself, by age thirty-two Jean was showing in galleries throughout the region, and began recieving commissions for his work. The Nepean Visual Arts Centre hired him to teach oil painting and also received a Diploma in Graphic Arts at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. In 1986, Jean moved into the Gatineau region, settled amongst the morning mists, trees and lakes that had always figured so prominately in his work.

Works by Jean Gauvreau are in the collection of Lt. Govenor General of Nova Scotia, "The Honorable Alan R. Abraham, Rothwell Gallery, Goldberg Shinder & Assoc. and numerous private collections in Canada, U.S.A., China & Europe.
