Biography
Veronique is a French artist originally from Provence, who now lives in Herefordshire. She has drawn and painted for many years as an art designer in advertising and printing, and is now a full time artist doing a little illustration work but mainly painting in oils. Her work explores the landscape, playing with deep colours and textures that echo the sounds and fragrances of the South of France.
