Art And Lifestyle

I am French born to a German Mother and a French Father, spend many years in France and then in Germany. My childhood years were trying, to say the least. The environment was not supportive and many years were about pure survival. My only light in my life for many years were my grand parents which I adored beyond all imagination and credit for saving my life I was always driven by an inner undeniable creative energy and a love of nature. After many rocky roads "Per Aspera Ad Astra" I arrived! I am living my dream in the great warm state of Georgia as an artist. I paint mostly in oil and watercolor. I am mostly self-taught. As an independent artist I have total creative freedom. I paint what matter in my life and subject matter often revolved about the beauty and bounty of nature.
