Anne Primeau

In 1986, Anne Primeau bought a one-way ticket and moved from her home in Ontario to BC. Here, sure pursued a career in Critical Care Nursing followed by a number of successful years in the private sector. With the support of her husband, Anne embarked on a new journey of self-discovery that lead her back to her artistic passion.

“Painting is an endless learning process that I find very fulfilling. The creative process of translating my vision onto a two-dimensional surface in order to evoke a sense of place and time brings me joy”.
