Annette Courtemanche

Artist member since 2020
Toronto, Ontario

I love the spontaneous playful feeling when I paint, combining painting with gestural marks, movement, texture and colour.

My work remains abstract, relying on the viewer to make a connection. Like the world around us, perfection is not the key focus behind my art but the beauty of not knowing the finale outcome is what inspires me. I approach each piece of work with a palette of colours, and a feeling that wants to be expanded upon and when I paint it is true freedom.

Annette Courtemanche is an artist who lives and works in Toronto, Canada. She studied at the University of Toronto, and with Michael Toke Contempory Painting at the AGO. She is a founding member of the Christie Pit Artist Group,Toronto Canada
