Lucie has studied English Literature at Trent University in Ontario, Spanish language and Literature at Universidad de Granada in Spain, and Fine Art and Design at the Alberta University of the arts Art in Calgary, Alberta. She has been granted The Mentor Artist-Educator Certificate from Learning Through the Arts from The Royal Conservatory of Music. She has completed a Therapeutic Arts Practitioner Certificate Program through the Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy (CiiAT) in Victoria, BC.

Lucie has travelled from the Arctic to the Andes and the Amazon, and her travels and experiences influence her artwork and world view. Her artwork is mostly inspired by Nature. Patterns, cycles and rhythms in Nature inform her artwork and life. The cycles and seasons of life and death, as ebb and flow, and seasonal migrations are of interest. She loves to explore and discover new ideas and media. She works with acrylic paint, mixed-media, photography, installation and video.

“I am passionate about exploring the connections between creativity, art-making and healing, and sharing these in community. I am an enthusiastic Visual Artist-Educator, designing and delivering creative experiential art-based workshops for public and private events for children, youth and adults.” – Lucie Bause
