Laurence Blanchard

I come from an artist family: my great uncle was a painter, my grandfather and father perform occasionally as movie actors, my grandmother was a singer, and my aunt is teaching theater and vocal. I tried to escape and became a civil engineer…

in vain !     

Two special events revealed my passion for painting:                                                                              

 At the age of 25, discovering Mozambique and its incredible light and red earth .                                                

15 years later, finding stunning colorful watercolor squares in an old Art shop in Saint Petersburg. 

I enhanced my skills with a copyist from Le Louvre who initiated me to glazing; I then follow the Beaux Arts classes.                                                                                                                                                        

After 10 years of practice and learning I held my first exhibition in Gentilly, France in 2013.

Member of the International Painters Community I have been holding online exhibitions in India, Nigeria…. 

I draw my inspiration from my passion of travelling all over the world with my sketchpad, capturing moments of life, lights and colors.
