Visual arts: illustration, painting, artist's books, lithography
16 rue Alexandra-David-Néel, Trentemoult, 44400 Rezé
Studio no.6
'Each of my drawings is often a little piece of a tale': trained as an architect and urban planner, Marie-Cécile Distinguin has devoted the last twenty years to painting and illustration, in a house by the Loire 'that looks a bit like [her] drawings'. Black forests dotted with orange fruit, wolves and red hoods, fish among leaves: her images fill children's books (Mille et une familles, Le fil d'argent, Grâce à mes chaussures à talons hauts…) and limited-edition postcards. She also builds relief box theatres, like dioramas, and pulls lithographs that her collages make one of a kind. She runs writing workshops and shares studio no. 6 with Thierry Rabot. She also teaches: visual-arts and writing workshops, classes and courses for children and adults. For dates and booking, contact her directly.
Flyer text
"Chacun de mes dessins est souvent le petit bout d'un conte, d'une histoire issue de mon imagination, des légendes et des mythes, de voyages, d'images ou de récits… Je publie des albums jeunesse, des cartes postales en séries limitées, je crée des boites relief façon dioramas, j'invente des "Livres d'Artiste" et j'imprime aussi des séries de lithographies rendues uniques grâce à ses collages…"
