In 2004, Joëlle married Rolf Morosoli in Montreal, where she lives. She has taught at Cégep de Saint-Laurent (college) since 1998.

Joëlle Morosoli has presented more than thirty solo exhibitions throughout Canada and Quebec. She was also invited to take part in major group exhibitions at such venues as the Centre Georges Pompidou and the Chartreuse de Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. In 2002, she was selected to represent Quebec at ArtCanal, part of Expo.02 in Switzerland.

She co-founded the art journal Espace, for which she was assistant editor from 1987 to 1997. She teaches visual art at Cégep de Saint-Laurent where she also coordinates the visual arts and art history department.

Morosoli is also a writer. Her first novel, Le sablier de l'angoisse, won second prize for the 1986 Prix Robert-Cliche. She also published Le ressac des ombres, in 1988, and a collection of poetry Traînée rouge dans un soleil de lait in 1984.

Morosoli completed a bachelor's degree in visual arts at Laval University in Quebec City in 1975. In 1997, she moved to Paris where she undertook doctoral studies at Paris 8 University. On her return to Quebec, she took part in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Many of her projects are produced as part of the government's policy of integrating art into architecture.

Born of a French mother, Gisèle Talbot, and a Swiss father, Erwin Morosoli, Joëlle immigrated to Quebec with her family in 1961.

Joëlle Morosoli (born 1951) is a French-Canadian sculptor of French and Swiss descent. Her work takes the form either of installations or of architecturally integrated art in public buildings. Most of her works have moving parts, driven by mechanical systems.
