Odile Tetu

Odile Têtu was born in Québec and attended the universities of Ottawa and Montreal, where she studied under Michel Goulet and Pierre Granche. She spent 20 years in Eastern Ontario, where she co-produced five huge murals of local historical value, which have enhanced tourism in the area. For five years in the 1990s, Têtu was part of the Artists in School program of the Ontario Arts Council; she coordinated and facilitated the production of permanent murals in schools in Francophone communities, where hundreds of children, aged 5 to 16 years, participated in making the artworks.

Among her earlier art exhibitions, Têtu’s detailed watercolour-on-silk studies of insects and birds have been exhibited at the Botanical Gardens of Montreal, the Frederiksberg Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark, Cornell University’s Gallery in Ithaca, New York, and Saint Francis Xavier University’s Art Gallery. Among the galleries where she has shown or consigned work during 2006 and 2007 are Art Sales and Rental of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax; Battle Harbour Historic Trust, Labrador; Gros Morne National Park’s visitor’s centre gallery, Newfoundland; Jean Claude Bergeron Gallery, Ottawa; Lyghtesome Gallery, Antigonish, NS.; St. Francis Xavier Art Gallery, Antigonish;  Skipping Stone Craft and Gallery, Guysborough; and Tall and Small Cafè’s art exhibitions, Antigonish.

Née à Rivière-du-Loup, Québec, Odile a pris pays en Nouvelle-Écosse où elle peint le paysage maritime, capturant la magie de la mer, visitant des endroits peu habités où les styles de vie traditionels sont en voie de disparaître et où les associations écologiques sont en évolution. Elle peint à l’huile, à l’aquarelle et à l’eau-forte. Elle aime travailler en plein air où elle s’inspire de la lumière et de l’énergie de la nature. Odile vit au bord du Détroit de Northumberland avec John le jardinier et Jeanneau leur chien. Passez les voir quand vous êtes sur la route Sunrise Trail.
