Annick, c’est moi !
I was born in France and after spending some time in Canada, New York City and Taplow in the UK, I have now come back to live in France in the beautiful Sainte-Maxime-sur-Mer in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

My passion for colour was born out of a visit to Musee du Jeu de Paume in Paris when I was very young and where I discovered the works of Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Monet, Matisse, Derain and many other colour masters.

I started to paint later in life when I met the right teacher in 1994. I never looked back!

I studied at the Berkshire College of Art and Design and Amersham Art College in Buckinghamshire (1995-1998).

My sense of colour is intuitive and my work is about an emotional ‘coup de coeur’ to places and an expression of feeling. It is all about the energy and the wonder of life and my aim is to communicate its essence.

I work from sketches drawn en ‘plein air’ or take photographs and re-create in my studio the magic feeling of the moment.

I create original, inspiring and vibrant paintings mostly in acrylics on canvas or wood panels.

I do commissioned work and my clients include
Starbucks Coffee Company,
Adrian Moorhouse’s Lane 4 and
The Windsor Contemporary Art Fairs.

Painting gives me a way to inspire and touch people’s lives. This is why I paint.

My passion pour la couleur est née a l’age de 9 ans, lors d’une visite au Musée du Jeu de Paume, ou j’ai déovert le monde merveilleux des Impressionistes et de la couleur; en particulier les oeuvres de Paul Cézanne, Paul Monet, Vincent Van Gogh. J’ai été profondément touchée.

Mon ‘aventure’ d’artiste peintre a commencé beaucoup plus tard avec 3 années de Beaux Arts en Angleterre.

Mes couleurs sont intuitives, instinctives. Je ne peux m’empecher de créer des oeuvres riches en couleurs et en émotions.

Dame Nature est mon inspiration !

Tout part d’un coup de coeur et mon désir est de retransmettre mon ressenti du moment magique et de l’énergie de la vie.

Je compte plusieurs expositions solo et j’ai participé a de nombreuses expositions collectives aux Etats-Unis et au Royaume Uni.

De nombreuses collections de part le monde ont fait l’acquisition de mes oeuvres.

Toucher le Coeur des gens et les inspirer : c’est mon but !
