13 Avenue Dolce Farniente 06110 Le Cannet
An opportunity to meet MARIE-CLAUDE surrounded by her work. Marie-Claude is a French artist, completely self-taught. After a life-time of travelling the world she retired to Le Cannet in 2007and began her next adventure - in the world of painting and sculpture Marie-Claude has exhibited in Paris, London, Spain and Italy and exhibits regularly on the Côte d’Azur. She began using acrylics, linen, shells, driftwood, but her painting evolved using many and varied materials, and exploring new techniques to create “a universe that can evoke dreams, stories…feelings”. She is passionate about abstract art because for her it’s important not to see, but to feel, to explore the mysteries of the unconscious.
