Marie Pierre Philippe Lohezic

Born in Paris, Marie-Pierre studied at l’École des Beaux-Arts where her artistic mastery began with a thorough immersion in sketching and oil painting.

Since moving to Orange County with her husband and children, Marie-Pierre has been exploring the world of art as a professional and taking her passion to the next level. Her work is in great demand for large scale commissions, many of which have been shipped internationally.

« As a sculptor and painter I have experimented a wide variety of media and subject matter.
Some ideas can only be sculpted others painted, I am just a tool.
I do not choose my medium, my ideas do it for me.
The medium elected is the vehicle of communication that I choose to fit my purpose,
to render the distinctive sensation that I want to suggest.
It is only a technique that will help me express my creativity.
Call me a multifaceted artist if you wish! »

Her astounding versatility is due in part to her fearlessness in exploring new methods and mediums. Her incredible repertoire of skills includes Printmaking, Carving, bronzing along with myriad other techniques which fuel her genius

During the six years she spent living in Asia, the diverse cultures of many countries such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand had a profound effect on Marie-Pierre’s aesthetic and inspiration as she learned yet more techniques for her armory!

Much of Marie-Pierre's inspiration comes from Modern art: Picasso, Cezanne, Rodin, and Archipenko. Her attraction to cubism and abstraction led to her further developing her individual style.
