Born in 1954, Anne-Marie Ciccariello, a Montreal artist of Italian descent, has been practicing watercolor for over twenty years. After training in haute couture fashion and earning a bachelor's degree in nursing, this self-taught artist embraced her art full-time, with passion and enthusiasm. Although she also masters oil and acrylic, she chose watercolor for its technical challenge and the incomparable rendering of emotions, colors, and light.

Fascinated by the beauty of nature since a young age, this Charlevoix resident draws inspiration from it to create her works. She chooses a variety of subjects in her paintings rather than focusing on a specific niche, to better express her emotions. Her paintings also retain a timeless quality.

She has participated in numerous workshops and exhibitions, and in numerous symposiums. Several of her paintings have already left our continent to brighten up distant places, and she exports her region with pride.
