Lyse Lemieux is a Vancouver-based artist whose 39-year art practice has focused primarily on drawing. Her work is almost always referenced to the human body—its strengths and its frailties. Lemieux first studied art at the University of Ottawa and later graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1976. Oscillating between representation and abstraction, her mixed-media work has primarily been about the bodily form—whether outlined by black line, filled in with ink wash, fabric or collage, mounted on paper, wood or other supports. For over three decades, she has exhibited her work extensively in public galleries, nationally and internationally.
