Born in Arthabaska, Quebec, Ginette Auger has lived in Laval for several decades. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from UQAM (earned in 1989) and has been pursuing her artistic practice for over 30 years.

Auger has cultivated a diverse range of technical skills in the arts. From 2006 to 2014, she participated in life-drawing and printmaking workshops; then, in 2015, she transitioned from figurative to abstract art.

Now an abstract painter in pursuit of pictorial adventure, Auger distinguishes herself through her unexpected approach to playing with space. She seeks to establish a dialogue—transcending conventional notions of spatial volume—by employing form, traces, texture, and gestures that incorporate elements of both calligraphy and automatism.

Ultimately, her work stands out for the way it creates ambiguity and movement throughout her pieces.
