Born in Saint-Monique, Quebec, Canada, Pauline Paquin is a self-taught painter. It was as a nurse in the school system where she followed the fascinating world of childhood, with all the imaginary, the spontaneity and the simplicity that goes with it. This is the center of her work. Paquin is a figurative artist with an acute sense of observation, an undeniable flair for details and an explosive color palette, which carries on her mission and puts life on her canvasses and those magic moments of childhood.
Her unique style and her personal artistic vision have been approved unanimously. Paquin's work has become well known to Canadian collectors. It is displayed in the most prestigious Canadian art galleries. Canada Post has recognized her talent, and in 1996 issued a $0.52 stamp (for US destinations) to commemorate and underline the 50th anniversary of UNICEF.
In 2000, Pauline Paquin was chosen to illustrate a children's book (CARRY ME, MAMA) published all over the world. She is currently working on a second book for the United States this time.
