Two artists exhibited at Champcevinel town hall throughout September

Promoting art and culture, the municipality of Champcevinel encourages exhibitions of the artistic expression of new artists. It was through exceptional and enriching encounters that Christine Wadoux discovered watercolor in the 90s with André Gauthier, who would become her mentor and allow her to participate in exhibitions and competitions. In 2010, she began working with pastels with Patrick Bigeard. Through these encounters, the artist expanded her circle of painter friends, allowing her to evolve both artistically and personally. "I pay as much attention to the person who creates the work as to the work itself." Her mindset is to "paint with her heart, following her emotions with sincerity and passion," focusing her works on simple subjects from nature and landscapes, with a penchant for chickens, which she depicts in different forms.

The latter allowed her to have her own studio and practice various modes of expression: oil, acrylic, watercolor and pastel, and even other materials, and to exhibit throughout the Dordogne and win several awards.
