ABOUT MARIE DAWN MOLDOVAN

Marie Moldovan, Saskatchewan’s snow queen and Ontario’s part-time dandelion, is a ​diploma-collecting, art-slinging force of nature. A Canadian Forces medic turned master ​of the canvas; her life unfolds like a vibrant comic strip. With a paintbrush as her sword, ​she combats PTSD, emerging as the Picasso of the Prairies. Her acclaimed collection, “20 ​Years of Winter,” is more than art; it’s a spirited snowball fight against victim shaming, ​hurling hues of defiance. Recently, Marie’s brilliance was recognized when she won the ​People’s Choice Award at the Larder Lake, Kirkland Lake, and Virginiatown “Colours of ​Collaboration” Art Exhibitions.


Marie’s work and story have been featured in various news articles, highlighting her ​journey and impact. Her exhibition “The Colours of Collaboration” has been touring ​Northern Ontario, resonating with many for its powerful message and the personal ​triumphs it represents. This tour and her award-winning pieces have solidified her ​reputation as a significant figure in the Canadian art scene.


Many of the pieces in the Artists of Earth Exhibition have been curated by Marie ​Moldovan and are part of Shattered Psyche’s Traveling Showcase.
