Andrée-Anne Paradis

Andrée-Anne’s is inspired by the Rocky Mountains’ geometric shapes. She gives each well known peak an aspect of visual identity. The coloured gradients result from her passion for design and colours, essentially made of the three primary colours, black and white.

Growing up in Eastern Canada, Andrée-Anne moved to Calgary in 2009 after falling in love with the Rocky Mountains. With a bachelor's degree in visual arts and a diploma in graphic design, she teaches arts in a French high school as well as being an Alberta emerging artist.

Andrée-Anne’s is inspired by the Rocky Mountains’ geometric shapes. She gives each well known peak an aspect of visual identity. The coloured gradients result from her passion for design and colours, essentially made of the three primary colours, black and white. The black lines are made free hand. It's a meditation process. The purity of white is reminiscent of calm, minimalism so coveted in the chaos of our current world. Her art is refreshing, contemporary, and happy.

Andrée-Anne finds a good balance between art and sports. Retired speed skater, she initiated a school hockey program, which she coaches. She also participates in many other sports. Some of her artworks represent this active lifestyle.
