Lucie Rivard Bio
Lucie Rivard is a self-taught artist residing in Ontario, Canada with her husband and son. Her childhood has been immersed in the passion for art, with her mother and grandmother as oil painters and wood carvers. Acrylic and colored pencils are Lucie’s favorite medium. She says the many layers of coloured pencil create dimension and realism in her illustrations and acrylic offers vibrant colours in her paintings.
She creates works of art in the styles of abstract, realism, expressionism and surrealism.
Lucie is also a Certified Holistic Practitioner in the Reiki and Pranic Healing modalities. One of Lucie’s Reiki infused paintings is called “Heal the World” and is on display at Bridging Heaven & Earth’s on-line gallery at http://www.heaventoearthart.com/artist/lucie_rivard.htm. These paintings are ideal for the practices of holistic practitioners as well as for the home.
Lucie has commissioned fine art and children’s portraiture as well as having her artwork featured on the cover of two magazines. Currently, Lucie is illustrating a 20-book series with authours Les Asselstine and Rod Peturson for the Ontario Association of Junior Educators. She is also an Illustrator for Creative House International Press located in Austin, Texas. Books coming soon:
"Po & Me" by Gaylen Blade and "Nami & the Dragons" by Lyrik Courtney.
