Fire and ash Painting

Sarah comes from a small village, Eze, wedged between Monaco and Nice, on the French Riviera. The view from her childhood house was of the mediterranean sea, surrounded by the Alpes Maritimes mountain range. She obtained a MD in Belgium, then studied in the USA towards a PhD. She cared for patients, taught at medical schools, and had a reserach lab, working in Belgium, the US, and the Republic of the Congo. She retired from academia and went to live in California. There she met Cathe Grawin, an artist and teacher in Solana Beach. Cathe inspired her to begin painting. Why not? No art background was required. There was only freedom to apply paint and enjoy it, to bring back to life the colors of her past. She keeps herself in check by remembering Cathe's favorite and liberating quotes "Not every piece is a masterpiece", and "Thank God for the gesso".
