Original works,
chosen with intention.

Monique Paré, in three acts

Monique Paré
Monique Paré has always painted. Through a long and decorated career in sales and training — managing hundreds of people across Quebec, winning contracts, building teams — her brush never strayed far. Painting was her constant: the thing she came back to when the workday ended and the world got quiet.
Now, from a home studio in Saint-Sauveur with the Laurentian mountains stretching out before her, it's no longer a hobby. It's everything. She brings the same intensity to a canvas as she once brought to a boardroom: total focus, deep feeling, and an instinct for what moves people.
They're choosing a piece that will still stop them in their tracks a decade from now.
Her work spans acrylics and oils, touching on the themes that stir her most: flowers in full bloom, sweeping landscapes, the faces of people with stories behind their eyes, and the lively character of towns and cities. Born in Toronto and raised in Kirkland, Quebec, she now splits her time between Saint-Sauveur and Pointe-Claire — painting, in many ways, for her three daughters.
