Libby Hague

Libby Hague grew up in Montreal’s west island suburbs in a family of artists and scientists, although they never realized it. Instead, they called it “trying out something new”, “just puttering around”, and “going down to the basement”. She was lucky enough to be gratified by the process early on and selfish enough to do it all the time.

She has lived in Ontario since the early 70‘s and has been successful enough to find professional satisfaction (over 50 solo shows), and unsuccessful enough that no one tells her what to do and she is free to invent whatever she has to. She makes enough money to pay her rent  (if she is thrifty), and has time to work and some time to travel. With help it’s close to a perfect situation.

Libby Hague would like to thank Philip Anisman, Betty Hague, the Centre CLARK team and The Ontario Arts Council.
