OUR SEPTEMBER ARTIST





OUR NEXT EXHIBIT (SEPT. 1-29)
FIGURES, CIRCLES & SPIRALS,
AN EXHIBIT BY MARIE-CLAIRE MONTGOMERY

Here is a brief history to help you get to know Marie-Claire!

Our September artist, “Marie-Claire Quichaud Montgomery was raised in the suburbs of Paris, France.  She conceived of and executed aesthetic projects from her earliest years.  Family friends invited her to visit them in Bryan, Texas.  A week after she arrived, she was painting murals and recording tapes for a French language lab at Texas A& M University.  She has mostly lived and worked in Texas ever since.


Marie-Claire graduated from the Chicago School of Interior Design and Decoration and operated an interior design practice, centered in the Dallas area.  She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing from the University of North Texas and completed some graduate coursework in sculpture.  Private collectors in Europe and the U. S. own her pieces. “
