MICHELINE YELLE
Landscape Artist
01 about
Creativity has shaped my entire life. In my twenties, I worked as a singer and musician before moving into a successful thirty-year career as an interior designer. When I discovered oil painting, it became a natural continuation of the creative expression I’ve always been drawn to.
I am especially fascinated by water reflections—where abstraction and realism meet within the same scene. I often intensify hues and colour relationships to capture the energy I see in nature, and I’m frequently told that my paintings feel “alive.” While I work primarily in oils, I also have experience with portraiture in pastels.
My paintings have been recognized in international competitions and I am an exhibiting member of the Canadian Federation of Artists. My work can be viewed in my studio and gallery overlooking Lac St. Louis near Salaberry-de-Valleyfield or at the Fairmont Château Montebello in Québec.

03 commissions
I accept a limited number of private commissions each year, working closely with collectors to create paintings with personal meaning.
Each commission begins with a reference photograph—either provided by the client or selected together. We then confirm the ideal size, budget, colour direction, and framing options.
Before painting begins, I prepare a cropped and colour-adjusted reference image to establish the final composition. A black-and-white sketch or ink drawing is submitted for approval prior to colour application.
Upon completion, I share photographs and video of the finished artwork. Paintings are carefully wrapped and shipped or hand-delivered depending on location, and each piece includes a certificate of authenticity.
The typical timeline is approximately six weeks, excluding shipping. No deposit is required; full payment is due prior to delivery.
For inquiries, please contact me directly. I would be delighted to collaborate and bring your vision to life.
