A Canadian native, Edith Lebeau was the product of a creative environment as both her parents are also artists. Her artistic development was influenced by a fascination with popular culture, Greek, Roman, and Celtic mythology, movies and fairytales. These influences continue to be seen in her work today. Lebeau mostly paints female figures, portraying them as superheroes, villains, goddesses, and nymphs.
The women she paints have a strong look and even if they sometimes don’t seem to know what is going on, there is a strong energy that comes from them. “The look is the most important thing in my work; it’s the way the character tells the story to the viewer…” Edith paints these women and makes them tell their own story through their expression and the emotion they exude. The story is often blurred to encourage the audience to make it their own. “I like to look at my paintings and not get everything at once. I let the character question me… ”
