Champagne was born in Montreal in 1937 and has lived in
Ile d"Orleans, Quebec, since 1988. He is best known
for his work in dry pastels, and has given a number of
workshops and demonstrations across Canada in the
medium. He is the recipient of awards from both the
Pastel Society of France and Paris, the Pastel Society
of Canada, and the Pastel Society of America. Champagne
is the grandson of the noted artist Charles Ernest de
Belle (1873-1939). His experience in design and the
graphic arts has been supplemented by studies at the
Ecole des Beaux Arts in Montreal, the Ottawa School of
Art, and workshops by Charles Movalli in New England and
Daniel Greene in North Salem, NY. He has taught the
techniques of dry pastel in the Ottawa, Montreal and
Rocky Mountain regions. Champagne's work has a wide
variety of subjects. In 1982, he was commissioned by
Masters Gallery in Calgary to produce a series depicting
scenes from Alberta's foothills and Rocky Mountains to
the Pacific shore of British Columbia. He has since
become well known for these works, as well as his
picturesque views of Old Quebec. He continues to paint
streetscapes and to explore the changing light and
landscape of the Quebec and Ontario countryside near his
home. Champagne also travels every year to places such
as Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast in France, and into the
wilds of the Hakai Pass, "about 40 minutes outside
of Port Hardy in a very old plane". He paints
outdoors at every opportunity, weather permitting. |
