Né à Montréal, André Perreault fait ses premières études au Venezuela et à Trinidad. Dès son enfance, il se plaît déjà à dessiner ses camarades d’école. Le monde des chansonniers l’attire également, mais c’est le monde visuel qui l’emporte.
Il obtient son diplôme dans les arts graphiques au Collège Ahuntsic et de là il part à l’aventure pour s’établir sur la côte du Pacifique.
Avec l’aide de l’artiste Allan Edwards il fait ses premiers essais à l’aquarelle. Fasciné par cet art capricieux il s’y consacrera assidûment. En 1994, il ressent le besoin de retourner aux sources et s’installe dans la région pittoresque de Charlevoix., où il entreprendra une nouvelle production d’œuvres à l’acrylique.
Born in Montreal, ANDRE PERREAULT completed his first years of schooling in Venezuela and Trinidad. Accomplished singer-songwriter, he put his guitar aside to devote more of his time to his paintings. He then graduated from College Ahuntsic in Montreal in graphic art and with the help and encouragement of Allan Edwards , an accomplished artist, André became fascinated with watercolors.
He has crossed the country numerous times, camping and fishing, and of course sketching and painting its people and picturesque corners. It is thus not surprising to find in his production many varied Canadian landscapes. Working in pure transparency, his ability in portraiture has won numerous awards.
He settled down in British Columbia for more than 30 years but in 1994 his needs to discover new horizons takes him from Vancouver Island to the quaint area of Charlevoix. In addition to his watercolors, he now also works in acrylics. One finds in this new body of work, devoid of preliminary drawings, strong emotions expressed in colourful compositions.

De me savoir libre de toutes contraintes ou de formules établies est une joie et un stimulant créatifs. Je peux ainsi interpréter la vie telle que vue et ressentie selon la muse du moment, espérant de cette façon partager mes rêves, mes peines et mon amour pour la nature et apporter un peu de quiétude à cette terre fragile et agitée.
I interpret life as I see and feel it, using my talent as a means of recording history, communicating my dreams and love of
nature. Such is the road I am destined to follow, such are the goals I have set for myself. Since we can only give what we have, this is what I have to offer.
