 Born in Montreal, currently living in Rigaud, Quebec.
Interested in drawing from an early age, it is only in 1980 that she seriously became interested in oil painting.
She studied at the workshop of of painter Marcel Bourbonnais and at Raymonde Lebel's painting school.
She has, for the last few years, concentrated her research on color and on scenes of the everyday life of children of a time gone by.
Looking back in time
For most of us, childhood memories bring back warm happy thoughts and emotions. These are the kind of memories we can see when we look at the pictures of naïve artist Nicole Laporte.Her work is highly evocative of times of happiness carved in the past and engraved in our memory as unique and unforgettable events.Her subject matter is made up of the Kodak moments of an earlier childhood, told in a way that takes us back to happier, simpler times.
With titles like Vite, on va être en retard pour souper!/Hurry, we’ll be late for dinner! or Après la messe du samedi soir/After Saturday night’s mass, her paintings tell cute little stories everybody can relate to.Expressing the joy of being alive and the beauty of nature are the central themes of Laporte’s work.
“My paintings have to be happy and the scenes must be full of joy.I am not alandscape artist but I still want nature participating greatly as a support in my pictures.”Each of her creations shows brief happy moments of life caught in midair and is illustrated with candour.Laporte lives in Rigaud, west of Montreal, and the beauty of the surrounding hills and waterways infuse her work and provide her with inspiration.“I love canoeing and going for walks in the woods.Aside from painting, they are my only other real interests.”
Nicole Laporte started painting seriously after having worked as a court clerk for years.With time, her hobby turned into a profound passion.While she always drew, she began to teach herself how to paint during the beginning of the 1980'and as she became more involved, she also started to show her work.Nicole polished her oil technique by taking some private lessons with Marcel Bourbonnais but evolved mostly by herself.
"My painting have to be happy and the scenes must be full of joy."Each of her creations shows brief happy moments of life caught in midair and is illustrated with candour.Nicole has always been attracted by history, and she decided that her subject matter would be made up of her Quebecois' heritage.Her work is sprinkled with details that make it easy to understand what is being said.Along with numerous winter scenes, Nicole focuses on the 20s and 30s.
Currently Laporte lives in Rigaud, west of Montreal, and the beauty of the surrounding hills and waterways infuse her work and provide her with inspiration.
