Brian Normandeau addresses Brush and Palette Club Members of the Brush and Pa- lette Club of London were capti- vated and inspired when local artist Brian Normandeau spoke
at their May 7 meeting at Riverside United Church.
Largely self-taught since retiring ten years ago, Brian’s art has been featured at dozens of solo and group exhibitions, as part of collaborative projects (London Artists Studio Tour, London Arts Council traffic signal wraps), on murals in Grand Bend and Forest, Ontario and in various local media. Painting for Brian is “my way of sharing my visions, my emotions, my memories” in order to create a connection with others. He feels that being and artist today involves showing who you are – not just what you make. “ Listening to Brian’s talk was more than just hearing about his art – it was witnessing an honest reflection on the journey of becoming an artist,” said Brush and Palette Club member Marilyn Kidd. “What stood out most was how he shared his evolution, not just in technique but in truly understanding who he is as a creator.
His insights into personal branding were refreshing – not about marketing buzzwords, but about being authentic and intentional with how you present your work and yourself. For him, social media isn’t about chasing likes but about creating genuine connections, building trust, and inviting others into the artistic process. By the end, many of us left with a clearer picture of Brian’s work and valuable perspectives on how to shape and share our creative paths more meaningfully.” Brian is presently experimenting with CubiFusion. He says the particular style he uses flows from the vision he has and that he wants to transmit to the viewer – not the other way around.
