Christiane Guerry - JOLIE MOME

Born July 24, 1948 in Grenoble, France, into an artistic family with a father who was a tenor and an uncle who was a painter.
Gifted at drawing from a very young age, she knew she would have a career as a painter.
At 18 she met Mercedes Henry, a painter, with whom she would work for 2 years! At the end of their collaboration, Mercedes Henry advised her to take flight, and she began to exhibit! Mercedes Henry nicknamed her “The Painter of Colors.”
