Welcome! I’m Fabienne, a visual artist, painter, living in a charming coastal town, on the shores of east Ireland.
Originally from western France (the Vendée), as a child, I found myself developing a true passion for art, particularly enjoying experimenting with various types of materials – from fabric to paint to clay. This led, later on, to a BA in Interior Architecture, and then to completing Visual Arts Practice courses in the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin. I also took painting courses at the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts (RHA) and am currently enrolled in the Turps Art School (UK) mentoring program for painters (2024/26).
Over the past decade, I have explored practices such as textile art, printmaking and natural dyeing. This experimentation continues to inform my approach to painting, in how I think about layering , surface and the balance between abstraction with architectural forms. My current practice is focused primarily on oil and acrylic painting. Fascinated by urban landscapes, I explore how structures and shapes connect us to our surroundings.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me, my art and my creative process, and I hope that you find a piece that resonates with you.
