Jacques was an instrumental person in the founding an art studio at the University of Sherbrooke. His work is represented throughout Canada and is part of many important collections.

“To find beautiful landscapes, you have to leave the beaten track and explore smaller pathways, right to the end. Usually, such effort is rewarded by an unexpected scene or an incomparable view. But nature can be very discreet and does not always reveal its charms at first sight. I might pass by the same scene many times without seeing all its possibilities, and then suddenly, one day, under a certain light, inspiration strikes. ” – Jacques Poirier (ChaseArtGallery.com)
