Louis Boekhout
Edit Profile
Career
The onset of World World War II forced Boekhout to momentarily put his painting career on hold. After the War, he immigrated to Québec, where he got acquainted with Marc-Aurèle Fortin (1888–1970). He finally settled in Chénéville, Quebec circa 1970 where he bought a small cottage.
The surroundings and peacefulness of the country were an endless source of inspiration.
He also thought painting classes and gave French lessons. He had a talent for finding water and was a well known healer.
