Edith Lebeau grew up in Beloeil, a little town of Quebec, Canada.
She was raised in a creative environment; her mother and father
are also artists. This helped her to explore her own imaginary
world and inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts at
l'Université du Québec à Montreal which she completed in 2005.

As a young girl Edith developed a fascination for superheroes
and villains and we continue to see its influence in her work. The
women she paints have a strong look and even if they sometimes
don't seem to know what is going on, there is a strong energy
that comes from them. "The look is the most important thing in my
work; it's the way the character tells the story to the viewer..."
Edith paints these women (superheroes, villains, goddesses,
nymphs...) and makes them tell their own story through their
expression and the emotion they exude. The story is often
blurred to encourage the audience to make it their own. " I like
to look at my paintings and not get everything at once. I let the
character question me... "
Edith's works often refers to Greek, Roman and Celtic
mythologies, movies and fairytales...
