BIO
Andie Trépanier is an emerging Canadian painter working primarily in large-scale oil paintings and mixed media. Their practice explores the integration of body, spirit, and the land they live on, investigating the reciprocal dynamics of self and environment.
Rooted in direct observation and outdoor painting, the work engages themes of ecological memory, intergenerational trauma, decolonial practice, queer embodiment, and chronic pain as sites of transformation and healing.
Based in Caledon and Toronto, Ontario, Trépanier works between field locations and a remote barn studio, developing a somatic, research-informed painting practice toward a forthcoming debut exhibition.
