Laurie Boudreault (she/her, b. 1989, Québec City) is a painter whose work centres on minimal, expression-led figuration. She builds her images through instinctive marks, pared-back forms, and a trust in imperfection as a truthful visual language.
Through figurative forms, perceptive details, and layered surfaces, her work evokes the nuanced intricacies of emotion, inviting moments of reflection and attentive presence. Inspiration often emerges from the overlooked: fleeting exchanges, everyday traces of colour, or the subconscious reveal of a sketch. Her practice reflects an ongoing curiosity about acceptance, intimacy, the meaning of life, motherhood, and the small everyday moments that shape our sense of self and others.
Now based in Tofino, Canada, Boudreault paints between the tides and the moody rainforest, where surfing remains an integral part of her life.
