Collection: Rachel Legault
Rachel Legault is a self-taught artist and her medium of preference is oil painting whether it is with brushes or pallet knives. She loves to paint landscapes that “speak” to people. She says: “My love for landscape painting stems from my love of nature…It’s breathtaking and timeless beauty; it’s bright or fleeting light and the overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility it can convey. I want to move the onlooker, to make them feel like they could just step into my canvas and linger for a few moments while enjoying the view and the peacefulness”.
Her work has been showcased annually since 2015 in various local art group shows (Brockville Artists Studio (BAS), Thousand Islands Fine Art Association (TIFAA), the Brockville Art Centre as well as the O’Connor gallery in Gananoque.
