Vanilla Beer
I am never sure what I am doing until it is done. Then I try and work it out.
My paintings are my diaries: What French I have tried to
learn, what I have eaten, what concerns are in
my mind. These
are the
things of my paintings. Plus the other issues, the abstract ones, of
colour,
form, space... the internal tensions...
The paintings lead me to new directions as I lead them through the changes they cause. I hope that they are
attractive to
look at and that they cause a smile. |

Ellie Clemens
An
American artist now
living in the South of France, Ellie is originally from New England,
where
she has exhibited in galleries and shows and won numerous prizes. She
has also been awarded the status of "Distinguished Artist" by the
Concord Art Association of Concord, Massachusetts.Her favorite subject is the landscape, and it is now the vistas around her home in the Upper Valley of the Aude that inspire her artwork. But her works go beyond a representation of landscape features simply as rocks, trees or fields. She treats these objects, instead, as areas of color and shape, translating the landscape into vistas of color and light, softness and brilliance, giving to the viewer a new perception of everyday scenes. |

Victoria
Milroy
<>
Victoria Milroy was
born in Glasgow (Scotland) in 1971. She grew up on the isle of Arran
where her
love for Nature developed into a desire of expression. After
travelling, living
and studying abroad – Paris, New York, Sydney, Mexico - she now lives
in St
Jean de Paracol (Aude, France) with her partner and their two children.
Colour and Light play an
essential role in Victoria’s work, which has been described as both
sensual and
atmospheric, while keeping a subtle freshness about it. Weither it is
her still
life, human figures or even a landscape, her aim is to draw the viewer
into an
universe where they are seduced by a sensation of voluptuous calm.

| Caty Pech |
Caty Pech Daughter
of the painter Eugène
Pech, of whom she was the most representative student, she grew up in
an extraordinary universe, filled with images, with echos, with music
and with silence, and was surrounded with the
mystery of artistic creation, an intense fascination.
She started in a very figurative style, in her "Imageries" series, but in 2003, the pure confrontation with the medium became a more and more pressing need. She found, using acrylic paints on wood and paper, and in a style now totally abstract, the way to express her interior world. |

David Vanorbeek
The art of Vanorbeek is no copy of what we see but rather a reduction
of facts to their essential form: a skeleton in iron and bronze wire,
without structural details but assembled into a totality by way of
association. The serial character adds a conceptual touch to his work,
especially prior to its being put outside. |
