Artist Interview With Madeleine Gendron
Today’s Artist Interview Is With Madeleine Gendron From Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Whopple: How long have you been an artist?
Madeleine: I started to draw very early. At 6 1/2 year’s old, I was noticed in my school for the drawing of a castle and after that for a booted cat. At home, I used to draw all the time. But it is my own discovery of oil painting when a teen-ager that gave me the feeling of being a real artist in creating my first imaginary work in oil on canvas. Also, when studying, I could not help drawing all the time during my class and making little characters and faces with black ink.
Whopple: Tell us about your first attempts to be creative.
Madeleine: It was in the country, when 8-9 year’s old, a little house, blue and yellow, that I painted in oil (my first attempt with the medium also)

Whopple: Tell us about your first attempts to be creative.
