Francine Gravel<br />

Cavaliere dell’arte<br />

Biografia<br />

"Artist Francine Gravel captures this<br />

world on canvas. With her vivid<br />

imagination and philosophical insight<br />

she creates paintings and prints which<br />

seem as if they have been captured from<br />

the pages of children's fairy tales and<br />

ancient medieval legends."<br />

(Gabriele Scherubl)<br />

Francine Gravel was born and raised in<br />

Montreal, Quebec where she attended the<br />

Ecole des Beaux-Arts, studying under<br />

Albert Dumouchel. She later pursued<br />

post-graduate studies in Belgium at the<br />

Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and<br />

at the University of Calgary (Alberta).<br />

She was presented in her premiere exhibit of etchings and engravings in 1967 -<br />

an exhibit that launched a career that has continued to grow ever since. In<br />

1980, after a long quest, she discovered the personal style that identifies her as a<br />

painter, and she has never looked back.<br />

She now enjoys an international reputation and has collectors throughout the<br />

world. She exhibits in numerous galleries throughout Canada where she is<br />

frequently featured in one-woman shows.<br />
