Marie-Jeanne Gillmann | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

In 1997, following a serious medical issue, Marie-Jeanne decided to devote more time to her joy of drawing and painting. She strengthened the two self-taught activities to which she devotes her free time by enrolling in many classes, including several at the Université Populaire of Saverne. During the 2000s, the painter joined the Artistes Libres of Alsace Organisation with the goal of exhibiting her first canvases, while also looking to sharpen her techniques by taking part in hands-on workshops, including those at the Moulin de Perrot in Ardèche. Marie-Jeanne was eager to discover all possibilities available to her and ""willingly attended training sessions taught by various painters, which enabled her to explore a variety of sensitivities, styles and subjects."" These immersions also made it possible to gain great confidence in her self and in her own skills.
