Catherine Noizet Faucon

"Born in 1955 in Paris. I live and work near Lyon. Attracted by drawing and painting from childhood, I was encouraged by my family environment, simple, sensitive to music and the visual arts. Adults - my paternal grandfather, a college professor, a friend of my parents lecturer at the Louvre Museum - took care of my desire, offering me the possibility of expressing it freely while teaching me drawing, painting, the history of art.

I was also part of a choir and a small baroque children's flute orchestra. From my literary BAC in my pocket, I aimed at the plastic arts and followed a specific education in Paris (Atelier d'Art et Décoration Baudry) and in Lyon (Ecole d'Arts Plastiques Martenot). During the 1970s it wasn't very popular to paint, but that's what I liked. I started a family, raised our four daughters. Today I exhibit my work regularly alone and in groups, I participate in major exhibitions. "
