Born in Hull, Quebec (Canada), and presently a resident of Kensington, Prince Edward Island, Chantal Dupuis is a lover of the wilderness, and captures nature’s essence or the charming, soulful character of the subjects and animals she paints. Viewers are most interested in her art because they can recognize the familiar or be transported into the unknown. Everyone comes out with is a journey into a scene with movement, emotions and peace. She discovered painting in 2015 and her dedication led to thousands of hours of practice, under the guidance of Christopher Tinkler, an Honours graduate of the OCAD Fine Arts program. Through his mentorship, Chantal honed traditional techniques that have become the foundation of her current artistic style. As a signature member of the Artists for Conservation Foundation she donates a part of her profits from the sales of originals to local wildlife rescue and rehabilitation shelters.
