Jeanne d’Arc Audet. Painter. Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec. Active from her childhood till now.

Jeanne d’Arc Audet was a naive painter. Her subjects were : “The ‘art of memory, or remembering.” They were found in the traditions of every-day Quebec life and customs. Using whatever materials available, from wax crayons to newspaper she painted the world around her. (She tells of trading fresh eggs for crayons with the local grocer.)
