Pierre Bédard was born on March 24, 1960 in Quebec City. His childhood was spent in Charlesbourg, a suburb of Quebec. From an early age, he pursued an interest in drawing. Upon completing his elementary and secondary studies, he began studying Applied Arts and was guided by Gyslain Lefebvre, a well-known water-colourist. Instantly, Bedard knew that he would devote his life to art-making. Subsequently, he studied Plastic Arts at the Sainte-Foy College in order to perfect his knowledge and study the most famous of artists.
Pierre left Quebec City in 1982 to live in the Charlevoix region; it was at this point that painting became Pierre’s sole daily occupation. He now lives in Montreal and his work is exhibited in several galleries across Canada, the United States, and France.
