Lynn Belleus, a visual artist specializing in realism portraiture, was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, to Haitian parents. At the age of four, she moved to Ottawa, Ontario, where her artistic journey began to take shape. Lynn discovered her passion for drawing at a young age, and by her teenage years, she had already developed a keen interest in sketching.

Following her high school education, Lynn pursued her studies in Interior Design at Algonquin College. While she gained valuable knowledge and skills in this field, she found her true joy in the art classes that allowed her to unleash her creativity. Despite the technical aspects of her coursework, it was during these art-related classes that Lynn felt most inspired.

After completing college, Lynn ventured into the technology sector, working in various roles and gaining experience within the startup ecosystem. However, despite her professional success, she felt unfulfilled. The absence of creative expression weighed heavily on her, leaving her longing for something more meaningful.

In 2019, a health scare led Lynn to undergo lung surgery, serving as a turning point in her life. It was during her recovery period that she rediscovered her artistic calling. Determined to reconnect with her passion, she picked up a paintbrush and returned to what felt most natural—creating art.

Lynn soon found her niche in portraiture, with a focus on realism. Through dedication and practice, she honed her skills as a portrait painter, capturing the intricacies of human expression with meticulous attention to detail. Her artworks began to gain recognition, and she started selling her pieces both in North America and Europe, making her mark in the art world.

Today, Lynn Belleus continues to pursue her artistic journey, capturing the essence of her subjects through her masterful realism portraiture. Her ability to infuse life into her paintings and evoke emotions in viewers has made her a respected artist.
