"My life is on canvas made of paint”
-----Bonnie Atlan
Where was I born...
I grew up in Milwaukee Wisconsin, USA. It was a beautiful environment with numerous lakes, green parks and four distinct seasons. As the colours changed throughout the year, so did I. Changes became a way of life for me.
Painting Knocked my door first...
My first recollection of being fascinated with painting and colours brings me back to kindergarten, waiting impatiently for my turn to paint on giant sheets of paper clipped to an easel. Ever since, I've surrounded myself with art in all forms, and would be constantly sketching, colouring, decorating, and designing. Art is my way of life.
Painting comes to find me...
After graduating high school with an art-rich background, I delved into graphic art design and life drawing at MATC University while also expressing my creativity part-time at Valentinas, a store where my designs still add color today.
Artistic Rebirth in Paris...
In Paris, love and motherhood reawakened my artistic soul. Our home became a haven for creating art inspired by the city's vibrant scenes. My Parisian drawings, brimming with life, found a place in galleries and the hearts of friends, weaving a tapestry of personal and creative milestones.
Life in Paris...
Living in Paris for eight years filled my spirit with new sensations and ideas. Walking down the small cobblestone streets lined with fine pastry shops, florists and cafes was an enriching experience.
Times in California...
In California, the sunlit gardens rekindled my artistry, leading to commissioned paintings and collaborative children's books with a poet. As a mother, capturing my children's essence and teaching them to paint enriched my creative voyage.
Pastoral life in the French countryside...
Returning to France, I painted idyllic gardens in Montpellier, gained gallery acclaim, and later, in a stone castle, captured the pastoral beauty of the South-West, earning awards and recognition.
Settled in Western Australia...
Facing an empty nest, we chose adventure over solitude, trading France for the vibrant embrace of Australia, where we flourished with Blanc Bleu in Subiaco, enriching our family's tapestry.
Explore the Australia...
Settled in Australia, I embraced the vibrant landscape, capturing its rich hues and pure light on canvas. Each day brings new inspiration, as I paint the magic of sunsets and the essence of this land, transforming tubes of paint into vivid stories.
Refresh the old soul...
We have since moved twice, and each time, finding old houses with a soul. I have a passion for bringing old homes back to life….breaking down constricting walls, replacing small windows by salvaged giant french doors, designing new kitchens, bathrooms, and gardens. Adding light and color, which is my natural way of giving life.
