Lucie Bilodeau was born in May 1967. Canadian by birth, she now lives in the United States, in Massachusetts with her husband. She is known for her realistic wildlife, animal and spiritual oil paintings.
Her interest in art started at the age of 7. At 14, she became a student of Mission: Renaissance School in Montreal, Canada, to be taught the traditional fine art skills. There she took a series of six courses, among these was an in-depth study of the masters: Rembrandt, Monet, Manet, Cezanne and Fantin Latour.
Lucie has distinguished herself by competing for six years in the "Cercle des Artistes Peintres du Quebec National visual art competitions". By the age of 23, she had won eight national awards. Also by that age, she won two International awards at the International Art Guild Competition in Florida. The International Art Guild was founded in Scotland.
