Joubert, Suzanne

Suzanne Joubert was born in Montreal in 1933, but lived afar for a long period before coming back in 2001. Meanwhile she obtained a B.A. in visual arts (1973) with the Gold Medal of Excellence of Ottawa University, and an M.A. in the visual arts (1989) from UQAM in Montreal; this time with two FCAR excellence scholarships. She painted irregularly in between, spending energy in various artistic organizations, professional juries, art critique and university teaching.

Suzanne Joubert considered 1988 as the year of her serious debut in painting, with her master degree solo exhibition at Ufundi Gallery in Ottawa and the cover-page of Vie des Arts magazine. Thereafter she concentrated her work in her studio. There have been as a consequence some twenty solos, a few grants, a great many group shows in Canada and some abroad. Her work is represented in numerous important corporate and public collections. She was elected at the Royal Canadian Academy (RCA) in 2003.

Suzanne Joubert died on May 19, 2020.
