A Dubaere for Jean Charest!
March 17, 2011
I’m so excited to know that Quebec’s Premier, Jean Charest, received one of my paintings as a gift.
While in Sherbrooke on March 11th as part of a prestigious dinner, Mr.
Charest delivered a speech for the members of the Sherbrooke’s Chamber
of Commerce. To thank him for his presence, they gave him one of my
paintings. I am very honoured and pleased that one of my paintings is
now in the hands of the Quebec’s Prime minister.
An article, prepared by journalist André Bernier, was published in the “Journal de Sherbrooke” with the famous snapshot.
Solo exhibition and vernissage at the Coaticook Beaulne Museum
January 6th, 2011
 Don’t miss this first appointment in 2011! From January 23rd to March 13th 2011, more than thirty of my paintings will be exhibited at the Beaulne Museum in Coaticook. Come meet me on January 23rd at 2pm for my vernissage and I will be happy to answer your questions.
My exhibition "Secret Places"
hopes to bring people elsewhere or evoke positive emotional memories.
Above all, I had great pleasure in creating rural scenes in bright and
cheerful colors to bring happiness into the lives of art lovers. This
time, in my artistic creation, I put forward the "hidden" beauties from
our Quebec landscape. Often, we do not take the time to observe or
notice the places and landscapes that surround us. Using the landscapes
and architecture that inspired me during my many trips, I want to get
visitors to stop for a moment to realize the rich heritage we have.
An invitation is sent to everyone!
Museum Hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 1pm to 4pm
