Monique Charbonneau (1928–2014) was a Canadian artist, known for her etchings, lithographs, lyrical wood engravings and gouache paintings. She designed the
Canada Post stamp to commemorate the life and work of Quebec poet Emile Nelligan (1879-1941) with the illustration of his
poem Le vaisseau d'or (The Golden Ship).[1][2] She is one of several artists from Quebec that author Maria Tippett says derived their inspiration from nature.[3]
