More than pretty shapes and colors, art that comes from the soul is art that truly changes the world. Marie Linda Bluteau (known simply as 'BLUTO'), is an artist of soul, and of strength, and of love. Her works speak with gentle harmony that can only be achieved by one who has known chaos, and who has come to tame it within their own being. No stranger to struggle, BLUTO was born in Montreal, Canada, the youngest of five children. Tragic circumstances caused her to be taken from her family, and resulted in many years of emotional turmoil. Fortunately, her saving graces were an indomitable spirit, and a brilliant artistic talent which blossomed from a young age.

BLUTO paints with coffee pigment, a technique she has painstakingly perfected over twenty years. This much admired method creates magnificently timeless images. Recognized for her fluid, powerful brush strokes, her work carries the marks of mastery. Like Celine Dion, she is a woman with a tremendous gift grounded in her belief in the kindness of humanity.
