Early life and education[edit]

Antoinette Esmé Hérivel was born in 1943 in Shipley, England. In writing her 1996 thesis, Hérivel described her early love of art: “As a child, I had an instinctive feeling that when I was drawing, I somehow had found a way of playing in which I could become thoroughly immersed and occupied.”[2] She studied painting and arts education at Southlands College from 1961 to 1964.[1] Writing on her choice to become a teacher, Hérivel said: “My decision to become a teacher was influenced by the fact that I was able to study in London at a college in which arts played an important role.”[2] Following her education in London, Hérivel accepted a teaching position in Canada in 1967 and became a permanent resident in Regina, Saskatchewan.[1]

She continued to teach in Saskatchewan while also pursuing a higher education at the University of Regina, graduating with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing in 1986.[1]  She then received her Master of Education in 1996 also from the University of Regina.

Career[edit]

Hérivel is heavily involved in the prairie art communities and has worked with the local Children's Theater, ArtSask[3] and CARFAC.[1] She has also served as a mentor for emerging artists.[1] She has shown her work across Canada and the United States and her art works are held in private and public collections in Canada and Great Britain.[1]

Themes[edit]

Much of her work is centered around the themes of memory, women and domesticity, imagination, and autobiography.[4]  In writing about the themes of work, Hérivel noted: “Memory is a major source of ideas in my work.  Although I refer to reference materials, I like the freedom to manipulate and play with imagination.”[2] Her exhibition “Fragmented,” from 2010 explored her and her parent’s experience and memories in Jersey during it’s occupation by the Nazi’s in the Second World War.[1]
