Through the eyes of Mairi Budreau the viewer is captivated by the power of light and depth in her paintings. From her palette we witness for ourselves an incredible bonding of beauty and nature. Her uniquely Canadian style allows us to view nature with a lasting impression so that we can no longer go for a walk in nature without thinking about the work we have experienced.
Both a studio and plein air painter, Mairi travels to paint and sketch the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. She lives in Kamloops, BC with her husband and 2 pussycats and befriends all the wild ones, especially deer.
In December 2021 she opened the Art, Naturally Studio & Gallery.
