Born in Montreal, Josée Forest has exhibited her works since 2009 in several renowned galleries.

It's by the gaze of the animals that Josée transposes her emotions; sensitivity, tenderness, wisdom...

 She likes close-up shots in order to bring out details that can escape in a larger overview.   She knows how to surprise by using colors that combine with each other in unexpected ways and is guided by her instinct.

The abstract dimension has the effect of highlighting and supporting, without diverting attention too much, the gaze of the animal which is the focal and emotional point." I want my works to bring a positive feeling, that they inhabit people's daily lives and allow them to project themselves into a moment of happiness and tranquility."
