BoldBrush Recommends: Myriam Laberge
Biography
Myriam Laberge is a Canadian mixed media artist whose layered, intuitive works explore nature and narrative through abstract and semi-representational expression. After a 40-year career in leadership and professional facilitation, she embraced painting as a soulful new chapter. Her work has been recognized in juried exhibitions and is held in private collections across Canada and the United States. An Associate Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and a member of the South Delta Artists Guild, Myriam paints from her home studios in coastal British Columbia and Alberta’s boreal forest.
in my own words
My paintings are layered visual stories -love letters really-to the beauty, surprise, and emotion I find in nature, memory, and the human experience. I work with acrylic, collage, and mixed media, weaving textured abstraction, symbolic pattern, and expressive gesture.
Everything emerges from intuition and joy. I’ve learned to embrace the unexpected, the accidents, the memories that surface unbidden, the way materials sometimes have their own ideas. That’s how each piece becomes something poetic, personal, and alive.
artist statement
Mary Oliver once asked, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” That question landed in me like a seed. Painting became my answer, an act of becoming in this third chapter of my life, carried by both reverence and urgency.
For four decades, I supported others in discovering their voice. Then I turned that same attention inward and began listening more closely to my own whispers. What began as quiet yearning transformed through years of learning and playful experimentation into a creative calling, one that continues to shape how I listen, how I see, and how I express the deeper currents of who I am.
I paint from a place of joy, play, and curiosity. I trust my creative voice to guide the way, allowing meaning to surface gradually through process and presence.

process
I’ve found my home in abstract and mixed media work. My process is layered and intuitive, rooted in presence and shaped by curiosity rather than control. I begin with spontaneous marks: torn paper edges, loose gestures, textured brushstrokes.
Each piece unfolds in its own time, like ongoing conversations between surface, mark, and emergence. Colour and mark rest, hide, then re-emerge - like memories resurfacing from beneath layers. Sometimes the work leads; sometimes I do. I’m always bridging that mysterious space between inner vision and physical form.
I work in thematic series: abstract landscapes, expressive blooms, visual stories, sculptural resin pieces. I move across styles and mediums because I’m drawn to the freedom of many visual languages rather than one fixed approach. Whether abstract or impressionistic, layered or gestural, I follow what feels alive, what invites beauty, surprise, and emotional depth.
Whether I’m drawing from land, memory, or imagination, my work honours the fleeting beauty of people and place, the surprise of the unexpected, and the quiet miracle of all created things.
