Sheila Boudreau
Sheila Boudreau is Principal Landscape Architect + Planner at SpruceLab Inc., with undergraduate degrees in Fine Art, Landscape Architecture, a Masters degree in Planning, andover 30 years of experience.
She has had the honour of working with artists and industrial designers throughout her career on public art projects, as well as custom benches and bike ring designs for the City of Toronto.
She comes to this work as a designer with expertise from working in a mixed materials manufacturing plant in Guelph, Ontario, during summers and university. This is where she learned first-hand about working with metals, plastics, fiberglass, finishes (galvanizing, anodizing, painting, sandblasting), as well as fabrication processes such as grinding, spot-welding, CNC machining, laser-/water-jet cutting, and aluminum casting. Her love of art inspires her to co-design with artists to create meaningful site furnishing elements for public realm projects, originating with a vision to celebrate culture, honour the Land and Water, and grounded in the reality of knowing what is required to create the finished product. Examples of her artistic work is found across SpruceLab projects and her portfolio.
