Born in France, in Mulhouse, married and the mother of two sons, I worked in the field of finance until 1991. I then decided to come back to my first great passion: PAINTING .Having grown up in an artistic background and atmosphere, I started out with portraits drawn in pencil at a young age. Later, impressed by the splendour of the Venice Carnival, I became fascinated by Venetian masks. These masks in ceramic and painted in acrylic give my fantasy and creativity free rein. I present the masks with or without a frame. In addition, I also paint on canvas in acrylic, oil paint, and charcoal. (still life, flowers scenery, portraits) My first exhibit took place at the "Cercle des Arts" in Mulhouse in 1993. Since then, I have taken part in numerous exhibitions for painters in Alsace, Switzerland and Paris. I have been awarded several prizes from the international Academy of Fine Arts in Lutèce in Paris, including two vermeil medals with the distinction of "special prize from the Steering Committee", and two gold medals. I have also received a vermeil medal from the"Société d'Encouragement l'Elite" in Paris. |
