Fauve | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Ever since her childhood in Roanne (Loire), Fauve has drawn and painted. She taught herself by taking inspiration from works of art history. In adulthood, she became a secretary without, however, abandoning her true passion. She continued painting even while working. She began with watercolours and worked for 8 years with Georges Colognon, a painter from Roanne. In 1997, she felt the need to work with other medium (ink, acrylic, oil), collage and mixed media and was taught by the painter Georges Roget at "Turne à Mignien", the seat of the association "Les Amis des Arts de Roanne." In 2000 she left her salaried activity and devoted herself entirely to her art, opening the "Fauve Studio" in Roanne and then moving it in 2005 to SaintHaon-le-Châtel (Loire). Anxious to share and pass on her knowledge, Fauve teaches painting there.
