Christiane Stenfort was born in 1940 in Dinan, Brittany. From 1958 to 1968, she took drawing classes at Providence and at the Daubé Workshop in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany. In 1968, she moved to Morocco, where her paintings are imbued with the warm colors of Africa. Her undeniable talent as a colorist reached full maturity there. In 1971, she returned to Nantes and studied at the Beaux-Arts. From 1974 to 1980, she lived in Reims, Champagne, as a student at the Beaux-Arts, collaborating with a team of painters specialized in oil painting. She settled in Rouen in 1980 and worked in Viviane Favre’s studio until 1984. That same year, she met Albert Malet, the last great painter of the École de Rouen. Under his mentorship, she established her talent as an impressionist, marking a decisive turning point in her career. She debuted at the Galerie du Comptoir Rouennais in 1986, and her first exhibition at the Palais des Congrès in Rouen was a true success. Since then, she has exhibited regularly. In 1988, she won the First Prize for Oil Painting at the Salon Arts et Création in Marseille. She was also a finalist at the 24th International Prize of Cannes and at the 39th International Salon of Deauville. She has also received several medals (gold, silver, and bronze) at various exhibitions.
Her works are included in private collections in Germany, the United States, England, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, and Canada.
