Mary-Lou Boulanger

Guelph & Muskoka, ON

Mary-Lou Boulanger is a full-time artist working in Guelph and Northern Ontario. Her paintings are inspired by the nature outside her door in northern Ontario and influenced by her experiences and travels throughout Asia.

Mary-Lou enjoys incorporating a variety of mediums and techniques in her paintings. She loves texture, colour and subtle imperfections that show the artists hand in the work. She follows the Japanese philosophy of “Wabi-Sabi”, the concept of finding beauty in imperfection.

“I’ve had a lifelong yearning to express myself creatively through drawing, painting and printmaking. I love to incorporate textures, unique colour combinations and patterns into my paintings. I feel the imperfections and rawness found in my work helps make the paintings more interesting and adds to their real beauty.”
