Born in St-Lazare (Bellechasse county), Quebec, Lili Richard is a member of the Regroupement des artistes en arts visuels (RAAV).

"In art, as in life, I'm interested in relations between nature and culture. More precisely, I try to understand what brings us closer or further to nature. In my processes, this problematic lies on ecological concerns, a necessity and a will to establish significant relationships between humans and the environment as well as between art and nature.

"Through pictorial matter I explore thematics in which nature is omnipresent. References to geophysical forces, territorial expanses, to movements of transhumance, and to Amerindian myths and rituals are part of my research, which persists in going back through time, uncovering the many folds of the memory."

-Lili Richard
