Julie Beauchemin
Known in the artistic community for the past twenty years as an actress, voice actress, storyteller and author of tales, Julie Beauchemin's career path clearly colours her approach to the visual arts, naturally leading her to attempt to tell stories through her images. Originally from the Eastern Townships (Quebec), from a family of craftsmen, farmers and musicians, the artist discovered photography about ten years ago and then took several courses in photography and visual arts.
His practice takes the form of digital interventions on photographs and is technically close to digital printmaking and aesthetically close to drawing or painting. His process is one of exploration, contemplation, construction and intervention.
Through common symbols such as small houses or seasonal landscapes typical of Quebec, his visual discourse, sometimes figurative and sometimes abstract, revolves around our relationship to the larger world. His works, often luminous and generally minimalist, are imbued with a fascination for the unfathomable and for the solitude that is worthy of the human condition.
She has received several awards including Director's award PhotoPlace Gallery Vermont, FAPA nomination, Fine arts Photography Awards and LensCulture Emerging talents Award.
