Alice Tremblay Savard returned to pre-university studies in 1964 after spending time devoted to her family. Focusing on visual arts, she earned an Honours BA in fine arts education (1977) and an interdisciplinary BA (1995). She set about her career as a painter, sculptor, photographer and writer even before completing her degrees, however, holding many solo exhibitions and eventually taking part in around one hundred group shows around the world. In 1988, she received an honorary doctorate in fine arts from the World University Roundtable in Benson, Arizona. Tremblay Savard went on to win an impressive number of awards, including two Prix Méritas from the city of Jonquière and two accolades for her body of work: a 1990 Woman of the Year award from the American Biographical Institute (Raleigh, North Carolina) and a 1991-1992 International Woman of the Year award from the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge (England). She also received a bronze medal from the Cercle des Artistes Peintres et Sculpteurs du Québec for a sculpture entitled Buste d’un pionnier (1995), later earning the organization’s Prix Grande Distinction in 2002. Like her two-dimensional artwork, her bronze sculptures, particularly her portrait busts, demonstrate an unwavering commitment to multidisciplinary creation.
