Like the French painter Pierre Bonnard, Isabelle Spicer grew up in Fontenay-Aux-Roses, located about a mile from Paris. Like him, she loves playing with colors, and thinks of draftsmanship as a necessary evil.
After studying political science in Paris, she lived in Germany, Poland, and Belgium. She finally settled in Moscow, where she learned to paint with a Russian master, Valery Alexeyevitch Gierackievitch. She is now continuing her art studies at the Torpedo Factory, with Mike Francis and Rosemary Luckett. She also attended a drawing class by Max-Karl Winkler at the Smithsonian.
Fascinated by urban landscapes, she sees the world through a filter of bright colors. She must have spent too much time studying Socialist realism at University, because her sky is always blue, her grass always green, and, hopefully, her artistic tomorrows all singing.
If you like her colors, she would be happy to paint for you your favorite place in Washington DC and its area.
Isabelle Spicer also runs a French blog on art and culture in the United States:
