Medgeen Guillet was born in Haiti, and raised in Montreal when her family immigrated to Canada in the 1970s. Initially studying Marketing Management at McGill University, Guillet’s creative instincts prompted her to switch gears, and registered for Art Classes at CEGEP du Vieux Montreal. She then decided to study Art History and Fine Arts at the University du Quebec a Montreal, where she obtained her bachelor’s degree.
Guillet’s landscape paintings are influenced by the old masters such as Eugene Boutin and capture the tranquility of nature. Her abstract décollage incorporates her photographs into acrylic paintings to create rich textures and surprising details. Guillet currently lives in Calgary, Alberta. Medgeen is available for commissioned work. More here →.
