MARIE RIOUX
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Montreal, Marie Rioux studied visual arts in Quebec City and completed a program in Research & Creation at Université du Québec à Rimouski. She is also a member of the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels (RAAV).
Talented colorist, she strides to portray rich and nuanced landscapes where the man is dominated by nature and his environment.
Marie Rioux’s artwork is present in multiple private collections in Germany, Great Britain, United States and Canada, in particular in the city of Lévis, as well as part of Bombardier, Norton Rose and Gentec’s collections.
