Paulette Melanson is an Acadian painter living in Lunenburg, NS. She has been painting for 25 years and has been exhibiting her work since 2008. Her work is in public collections: the Canadian Embassy in Paris, France and the Nova Scotia Art Bank as well as in private collections.

"I would describe my painting process as an unconscious exploration of materials that eventually emerges into themes. Throughout the process I remain completely detached from the outcome; an automatism type process that goes on for extended periods of time until I find meaning in the layers of paint."
