Lynn Fournier is a visual artist and longtime art teacher at the Metis Beach School. She\u2019s led countless workshops for Heritage over the years, and even volunteered for us as a board member a long time ago! She recently facilitated pottery-making workshops as part of our Earth to Earthenware project, funded by Canadian Heritage.\u00a0<\/p>

As a painter, Lynn currently has more time to devote to her craft as she progressively retires from her teaching role at MBS. She frequently sets up her easel outside in Metis-sur-Mer and environs. She was recently selected to be featured in Outdoor Painter magazine, in a piece highlighting the outdoor colours of autumn. You can see her entry at the following link (scroll down to the bottom): https:\/\/www.outdoorpainter.com\/enjoy-it-while-it-lasts-painting-in-autumn\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGpzsJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfbaZSRP5SUtdcXX7MIJbfJUJB2640_J62ZtrSEugmYklD6A_C7VYqNJcg_aem_R7TYxtrL_lUaIbrqUg5Igg<\/a><\/p>

Where are you from?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>

Both my parents are from the Gasp\u00e9, but work brought them to Montreal. A rural town North of Montreal is where I spent my youth, then we moved to Montreal so my sisters and I could go to college. I went to Dawson College to study illustration and design. Before returning to school to complete my art education degree I worked for several years in the clothing industry. This gave me the opportunity to travel, explore and meet wonderful people.<\/p>

Where is home for you?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>

For the past 23 years, home has been in Metis, facing the St. Lawrence. Every morning I take a bit of time to appreciate the sea and watch the birds.<\/p>

What is your favourite place in the Lower Saint Lawrence, and why?<\/b><\/p>

I am happiest when on or near the water. I cannot imagine living far from a large body of water like the St. Lawrence. I love the horizon and the ever-changing coast. It is both beauty and beast! Every time I have the opportunity to sail, a calmness envelops me. It\u2019s an amazing experience!\u00a0<\/p>

Your favourite pastime?<\/b><\/p>

I love drawing, painting, and reading about artists and art. I love observing birds. They are amazing little creatures!\u00a0<\/p>

What is your idea of perfect happiness?<\/b><\/p>

Happiness for me is a balance between spending time with family and friends and spending time contemplating nature.\u00a0<\/p>

What talent would you most like to have?<\/b><\/p>

I would love to fly!<\/p>

What is your greatest achievement?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>

I have been with my husband for almost 40 years and we have two wonderful children. Becoming a mother and caring for our son and daughter are the most special moments in my life.<\/p>

What is your motto?<\/b><\/p>

It\u2019s what you do in the meantime that matters.<\/p>

And,<\/p>

There\u2019s hardly any problem that a walk can\u2019t solve!<\/p>

Biggest regret?<\/b><\/p>

I don\u2019t have any regrets, but what makes me sad is losing friends and family and saying goodbye.<\/p><\/div>
