Henriette Ethier (1950) was born in Dalkeith, Ontario. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts and a Master’s in Education, both completed at the University of Ottawa. Throughout the years she saw the need to pursue various courses and workshops in art to complement and nourish her knowledge and refine her skills in different fields of the artistic landscape. This has incontestably sharpened her perception of today’s artistic debates and trends. With 35 years of experience as an art teacher, Ethier enthuses she has learned a great amount from her students.
Ethier has participated in over seventy solo and group shows since 1975. Her works have been shown in Ontario, Québec, Germany and Chili. Many of her works are part of private and public collections, including at the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in Ottawa, La maison de la culture de Gatineau and the University of Ottawa. She is a member of several art associations such as BRAVO (Bureau des regroupements des artistes visuels de l’Ontario), and la GNO, (Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario). Ethier presently lives in Ottawa and maintains an active production. Photography, painting and sculpture remain an essential part of her process.
