Paulette Marie Sauvé

 

Paulette Marie Sauve is a painter, tapestry weaver and writer.

She studied visual arts, architecture and painting at the institute des Arts Appliques in Montreal, Quebec. Later she was awarded a government grant to travel to France where she discovered natural pigments, ancient dyes and tapestry, notably at the Manufacture des Gobelins. This inspired her to write about the art of creating with natural materials.

She later went on to study at the Universite de Quebec, where she obtained her Master of Fine Arts degree in 1992. The MFA course included studies in northern Italy.

From 1992 to 2002, she taught Visual Arts and organized exhibitions and cultural events. She then returned to her studio to work full time at tapestry, painting and creating illustrated books. Paulette has published two books in French:"La Teinture Naturelle", and, "Le Filage", as well as two CD-ROMS about the history of textile art in New England and New France.

Born in North Bay, Ontario, Paulette has given lectures, seminars and workshops in the USA, Burkina Faso, Canada and Israel. She creates commissioned paintings, and her work is shown in galleries, museums, private and corporate collections in several countries. She has obtained grants and awards, notably in 2002, she received Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 50th Golden Jubilee Medal awarded by The Governor General of Canada. She also received grants from the Canada Arts Council and is a four-time recipient of the Quebec Minister of Cultural Affairs Grants.
