Through a colourful “naïve” style, Véronique’s paintings radiate a sense of joy and humor. Viewers of her work are often observed breaking into a smile as they discover the subtle details, not always apparent at first glance. Véronique’s paintings are a “breath of fresh air”, vibrant, full of life, and in their childlike innocence, take many of us back to a simpler and gentler time.
Véronique has been exhibiting her work at:
- The Rideau Valley Art Festival, Westport, Ontario
- Signatures Shows in Toronto and Ottawa
- International Festival of Naive Art, North Hatley, Québec (1996, 1998)
- Musée des civilisations, Québec city, 1998 (group show)
Véronique has been a featured artist on "Regional Contact" CJOH TV in 2001

Ses peintures sont de style naïf: très détaillés et colorés, ses tableaux nous séduisent par leur coté rafraîchissant, vibrant et joyeux. Pleins de vie, ils nous rappellent une certaine innocence de notre enfance.
