Discover the contemporary work of Jacqueline PELON
Jacqueline PELONborn in Saumur (Loire Valley) in 1947Educated at the Fine Arts Academy in Rennes as art design teacher.After practicing different technics such as oil painting, wool weaving, clay moulding, painting over silk materials, she has been fascinated by the water colour painting technic in 1983 when living in La Rochelle, along the south west coast of France.Since then, in spite of several attempts to come back to oil painting, she prefers the specifics of water colour which brings more transparence and lightness and needs more spontaneousness.She paints a large diversity of subjects, mainly figurative: still life and flowers, gardens, marshlands, landscapes of Britanny, Loire valley, Provence, sea coasts with fishing or sailing boats, life scenes in towns, markets, portraits, nudes, and more recently non figurative settings.She participates each year since 1986 to several regional fine arts paintings show, in the Paris area, the Loire valley and Brittany, where she has got several awards since 1990, and has been invited as guest star a few times.She also organizes from one to three personal exhibitions each year in several locations, and since 2006 at her workshop location in Batz sur Mer (near La Baule) where she lives.personal internet site: https://www.jacqueline-pelon.fr
Depuis toujours intéressée par le dession et la peinture pratiqués dès le plus jeune âge, j'ai expérimenté différentes techniques, de la peinture à l'huile, à la peinture sur soie, l'acrylique, le tissage, la sculpture et le modelage, et aussi différentes activités manuelles liées la décoration.
La découverte de l'aquarelle dans les années 80 m'a passionnée au point de devenir depuis mon activité artistique quasi exclusive.
