About me and my work.

The imagery used in my work is heavily influenced by my upbringing in Northern Ontario, on the shores of Lake Nipissing as well as a recent purchase of untapped land in Pakenham,Ontario.  

The purchase of a completely virgin plot of land has been more than inspirational, it’s been a revelation.  

My partner and I are currently building a small cabin there.  Staying in the wild, being self-sufficient and blocking out the modern world has been very inspiring.

Ariane Beauchamp

Ottawa-based artist Ariane Beauchamp’s medium of choice has typically been ink and watercolour.  The themes of her work, being nature, death and decay lend themselves

perfectly to the unpredictable nature of the materials she uses.

 “The ink tells me what is

going to become of the piece. It will move, fall and dry in a way you won’t expect or plan

for. Like in nature, I let it tell me what it’s going to be.”

On this site you will find an ever changing selection of prints representing Ariane's original pen and ink illustrations.
