About

Johanne Galipeau is a painter, puppeteer, and lantern aficionada. She has zigzagged among many facets of the arts in her  career:  writing plays for giant puppet theater, performing  at festivals  and touring the country, as well as writing and illustrating a collection of children’s stories published by Les Editions Guerin in Montreal.

Johanne particularly loves lantern making and the magic that comes from holding a little lantern in the big darkness.  She has organized numerous lantern workshops and lantern processions in her community with giant puppets and local musicians.  She believes in building community through the arts.

Her passion revolves around painting, at the moment she is back exploring abstract imagery using cold wax and oil.
