Amélie Doucet is an artist from Petit-Rocher, N.B. She currently lives in Moncton, where she is completing her B.A. and B.Ed., majoring in history and minoring in visual arts (with a specialization in printmaking). She has long been involved in arts-related activities in schools, summer camps, and daycare centers. In 2024, she presented her exhibition titled L’épidémie dansante at the CORRIDART space located on the 3rd floor of the Caraquet Cultural Centre.
In April 2026, she exhibited her work at the University of Moncton, N.B. In the exhibition Antithèse, created in collaboration with Vanessa Noel, she sought to offer a fresh perspective on certain diseases that have spread and whose history is linked to that of Acadia.
Her studies in history profoundly influence her creative process. Among the themes she explores in her creative work are the macabre and the grotesque details associated with certain diseases.
The artist also says she is deeply inspired by the world of cinema—finding models in the art of storytelling there. Amélie Doucet is a visual artist and storyteller, and through her works, she seeks to tell a real or fictional story. She also sometimes invents worlds in which recurring characters from her work appear to bring to life in images what is bubbling in her thoughts.
