Claire BLOUIN
Painter Cartoonist-Lissier

Born in Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Maine-et-Loire, she currently lives and works in Anjou.
She began exhibiting in 1977 in Paris and Montreal.
From 1979 to 1985 she spent time in the Pacific and devoted herself to artistic expression.
Back in France, she continued her research in textiles and painting.

Claire BLOUIN translates a personal journey through her creations: that of a visual artist asking herself the essential questions of life, because, she says, “all human life is based on the search for happiness.”
