Louise Robitaille
Louise Robitaille is a contemporary Canadian artist based in Québec. She studied fine art at Vancouver Island University and Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Robitaille is known for her water paintings depicting water, myths, philosophy, and the west coast.

The latest collection of work, Water Born 2012, is described as a passionate collection of paintings that explore rebirth, identity, history, and humanity's origins. Her work is ''characterized by an elegant balance between mythical and realistic imagery. The tightly woven, reflective waters of her canvases are overlaid with figurative narratives and the result is a body of work that is both beautiful and, at times, haunting.[1] Her style has also been described as a, combination of representationalism, realism; naturalism, and takes the form of illustrational depictions of happiness using stylized, personal exaggerations and distortions. It is Post-Surrealism! Her technical virtuosity more than adequately presents her perception and cognition of an ideal romantic world in which she is both instigator and willing participant.''.[2]
