"I am honored to support the EQUUS Foundation which helps so many equine organizations," said Nadeau. Nadeau's amazing equine paintings are on display at the Gallery at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center through the end of March. "I was enthralled with Nadeau's work when I viewed it first hand," said Lynn Coakley, EQUUS Foundation President. "Her images of horses truly capture their spirit and the bond between horses and people. We are so thrilled that she will perform live at our event."

Nadeau, born in Montreal, and now residing in Utah was the guest painter of esteemed curator Gerald Van der Kemp on the grounds of Impressionist painter Claude Monet's gardens for a period of 10 years defining her unique artistic skills.

Nadeau was inspired to combine her art with music after a 2000 encounter at the private home of Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil, where George Harrison sang to her for 4 hours.

In October Nadeau was invited to paint live on stage to the 95-piece Salt Lake City Symphony Orchestra. In December she painted live to Dionne Warwick at her 50th anniversary performance. She has also been invited to paint the Royal Family of Serbia, Harry Belafonte, while he was giving a Humanitarian speech and many other amazing and special events. This past fall Nadeau was the featured artist at two Ralph Lauren stores in the Hamptons, South Hampton and East Hampton.
