Marie Cecile Bouchard
1920 - 1973

Born in Baie-St-Paul, Quebec, Marie-Cécile was one of 14 children in an artistic family. She began painting as a teenager, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Simone-Mary. The subjects she chose to depict were ones that were close to her heart and experience, interior scenes of daily life, old homes and holidays. Her works reflected country living, family life and her Catholic faith. When her work was shown at an exhibition of Canadian art in Brazil in 1945, she garnered favourable reviews. In an article in the O Estado de Sao Paulo, Serigio Milliet wrote "...One of the most touching primitives that we have seen, a true painter of fairy tales playing with a palette rich and, at the same time delightfully unsophicated."

In 1947, she entered the Convent of Sister of Sainte Antoniennes de Marie in Chicoutimi and sadly gave up painting for 22 years. At the end of her life, she began to paint once again, completing 30 paintings inspired by earlier works. She died in Chicoutimi in 1973, at the age of 43. After her death, in Le Progréss Régional, a Chicoutimi paper, Marcel Portaler described her work as "having purity of line, simplicity of colour , full of lyricism whic sang of othe fields and ancient traditions of rural Quebec.
