Wildlife artist, naturalist
Danièle Désourdy was born in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, in 1969.
Coming from an artistic environment, she grew up immersed in creativity, her journey being deeply influenced by the work of her mother, an artist recognized in Quebec and internationally.
This early immersion in the world of art fuelled her passion and allowed her to develop a unique way of observing the world, marked by subtlety and sensitivity.
From a young age, it became clear that she would pursue an artistic path. She graduated from FACE (Fine Arts Core Education) in Montreal, a high school dedicated to artistic development, and then continued her training in visual arts at Cégep du Vieux-Montréal. For several years thereafter, she explored and worked on various artistic projects.
It was following a significant encounter with a wildlife artist that her deep desire to paint nature was born. Through her works, she expresses her passion for flora and fauna, capturing the beauty and complexity of living beings and their environment, while absorbing their wisdom and harmony.
Over the years, she has received several awards and distinctions, including an exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and two gold medals at the International Prize for Art Professionals, awarded by Mondial Art Academia..Her acrylic paintings are featured in private and public collections in Canada and internationally.
Since 2017, she has dedicated herself full-time to her career as a professional artist in her workshop in the suburbs of Montreal.
