About

Marie-Josée
Thiffault

Born in Canada and now painting from her studio in Missouri, Marie-Josée Thiffault has always been drawn to the moment just before words arrive — when a subject reveals itself not through gesture or expression alone, but through the quiet insistence of light on every surface it chooses to trust.

Working in oils on steel panel, she is captivated by what the surface makes possible — a luminosity that feels less painted than discovered. Each piece begins as observation and deepens into something else entirely: a relationship with the subject, the elements, and the spirit of what quietly or boldly insists on being seen.

Her work has found homes in private collections across the United States, Canada, and abroad — each painting a world unto itself, a spirit presented and left in the care of those who felt it.
