Villefranche sur mer

Villefranche sur mer,acrylic,30x30cm

When I was going to France it was recommended that I visit this place on the southern coast of France. A very quaint little village where we tried the local food ‘socce’ and where we found an amazing street underground. We wandered along the waterfront with all its cafes and then up through the streets to the church.A paintings is always more meaningful if it is steeped with memories.

Artist Residency in Nice, France

‘Out of Antiquity’, mixed media

I have just come home from 2 weeks in Nice where I had an artist residency through Galleria Monteolivetto. It was an absolutely amazing time and the artwork I produced during this time will be exhibited next year in Europe. I was struck by the ancientness of the whole place and my work done on 12 small panels was inspired by how life comes out of this history and feeling of antiquity.
