Virginia Chapuis

I am moved by Nature since little, country and river landscapes where I spent long hours of my childhood, have attracted me since. They are my source of calmness, peace of spirit and contemplation, and connect me with their Creator.
Married and mother of five children, I am a nature lover and observer. My style is figurative, sometimes more realistic, others expressive and even abstractive. My compositions are made up from field sketching, which I paint afterwards in my study where colour is the main character in the show.
