Johanne Brouillette is a Canadian abstract painter who has been living and working out of her studio located in the Laurentian Mountains for over 28 years.

Following close to 20 years painting in a representational landscape style, Johanne began studying pure abstraction and immediately connected with the style of the Automatistes painters such as Riopelle, Borduas and Ferron. She has found freedom of expression in abstraction pursued through automatism: an instinctive, unpremeditated form of creating art, and has created a fresh language all her own.

Brouillette is a jury elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists and the Federation of Canadian Artists. Her abstract paintings have been included in over 80 regional, national and international juried exhibits and have been awarded several prizes. In 2020, the Society of Canadian Artists awarded her the prestigious Antoinette Stevens Medal “Best in Show”. Her artworks have appeared in several publications including House & Garden magazine in the United Kingdom, Spotlight Contemporary Art Magazine in France and Art Folio Annual in the United States. 

Her work is represented in galleries and both private and corporate collections worldwide. A few notable one’s are the Montreal Neurological Hospital, Alzheimer Society of Canada, Jean Lapointe Foundation in Montreal, Principal Financial Group, Des Moines, USA, Merchants Bonding, West Des Moines, USA.

She currently lives and works in the Laurentians with her husband and two small dogs.
