Nadine Belliveau is a visual artist from the Baie Sainte-Marie, Nova Scotia, where she has been creating professionally since 1971. A graduate of NSCAD, Université de Moncton, and Université Sainte-Anne, her contribution to the arts has been as an educator, a founder of two galleries, and a member of many art associations. Her paintings explore the essence of her environment by means of abstraction and decorative expression. They unveil their mysterious and immersive qualities by revealing inviting and warm elements through textural, layered and large-format acrylic on canvas. Her manner of bridging the abstract and the recognizable is distinct, eye-catching and compelling. Her work can be seen on her website galeriebelliveau.com, or by appointment at her Belliveau Cove studio. She has recently shown her work in Nova Scotia, Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto.
