Marie Expert
''Fascinated with the classical paintings. I remember very well each time when we went to churches with my grandmother, looking at the ceiling of the catholic churches I was astounded with the paintings. I was really amazed and I imagined that Paradise looked like that. I continue to explore new techniques for blending colors, styles or new materials. The encouragement of my friends and family led me to realize that I had a talent that allowed me to produce artworks. The passion and patience that flow from art also inspired me to share with others by teaching other emerging artists.''
