With a childlike spirit, Veronique has developed her painting techniques using her imagination and sensitivity. She works with colors in a very personal way, creating strong contrasts between the subjects, her naive style and the complex techniques she uses to give her paintings life. Veronique is inspired by nature: animals, flowers, butterflies. She paints marvellous birds and fish, cats with perfectly striped fur, flowers more cheerful than in nature. Veronique Godbout works in a naive style. Her artworks radiate optimism and vitality.
