Nu appuyé 1

As much as she has always loved painting, she paints. Nudes, still lifes, landscapes, portraits, figurative in the manner of Hopper according to one of her masters: Michel Suret-Canale! No initial training in a school of Fine Arts, having followed different training courses with a professional painter Mr. R. Lelaizant, between 1986 and 1990, then in a nude drawing workshop and in a School of Plastic Arts, she continues in continuous training within an association Mimesis which aims to be a melting pot of research and experimentation without competition or precept. In her studio, she creates realistic paintings inspired by real-life or completely imaginary events. New encounters have opened other windows for her: that of Sylvia Trouvé who takes her into original and bucolic "Route to Croquer" and to her "Atelier du Trait" where she continues her training in drawing as one trains for one's favorite sport, that of a whole group of pastel artists from Niort who introduced her, through her courses, with Régine Bertin-Brisson to the technique of dry pastel and more recently with Paul Billard, a renowned pastel artist. Artists such as Slimane Ould Mohand, Pierre Auzanneau, Frédéric Mercier have opened their studios to her and many others (Zarco) whose attendance stimulates the imagination... Marie-Hélène D'Autreppe has for some time been a generous initiator who, in the Mimesis workshops, brings her skills as an artist-decorator. Vincent Rousseau was the initiator of animal pastel during an internship. Annual internships, with a renowned watercolorist: Michèle Billion, allow her to develop know-how in this very difficult field of in situ watercolor! A new experience this summer 2019, with a renowned master pastellist: Jean-Claude Baumier gives him a boost in the field of dry pastel treated in-situ in natural landscapes.

2021-2022 resumption of new exploration with a painter expert in knife painting: Nathalie Sabourin.

A very rich and formative experience thanks to Eric's great pedagogy!
