Secrets d'Orient Print

I was born in May 1954 in Paris to a Russian father and a German mother and have been living in Bournemouth for the last 23 years. I have been interested in art from a very young age .... at the age of seven, I decided to better understand a 3D painting exhibited by an artist in Montmartre, Paris, by exploring with my fingers, not to be recommended, merely an anecdote! Although a bit of a rebel in my young age, I did give in to my parents' wish not to study art and turned instead to languages which actually allowed me to meet my husband! I have always been passionate about art and had already decided that one day I would fulfil my ambition. I did this through studying at the Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design, attending life drawing classes & encaustic art workshops. I am particularly interested in the human figure, abstract art, colour & texture.
