Annie Bérubé

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Saskatoon, and I just finished a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Saskatchewan. During my studies, I focused on painting and drawing, but I also have a great interest in sculpture, installations, and sound. Before my studies in visual arts, I was a project manager in the oil and gas industry for equipment located on remote ocean platforms around the world. I was also an industrial designer for many years. My experience in these positions significantly influences my work. My artistic practice is driven by the isolation and mystery that abandoned buildings, and isolated places evoke. A technological and industrial aspect is attached to my work, and it becomes highly personal and reflective of my life experiences. My paintings, for example, incorporated imagery that is metaphorically and symbolic of significant events in my life.
