Isabelle Gautier grew up in a little village in Normandy, just a few miles from the Mont-Saint-Michel, in Western France. It was not until 1999 that she moved to Atlanta with her American husbands and two sons where they live and work today. Gautier’s Art is a fascinating reflection of her European heritage and adopted American culture. Her extensive travels across all continents have left a lasting impression on he oeuvre, making her artwork both personal and universal.

Artist’s statement:
Is there a better way than art to bring people from all over the world together in a celebration of beauty? Painting is the way I reach out to people. My favorite tool, the palette knife, allows me to keep the deep pigments in the acrylic paint, my preferred medium. In each painting there is a little something unexpected, a small “je ne sais quoi”, at the point of creation, which makes my art original. It can be an odd stroke, an unnatural balance, a particular color or design… My inspiration is to paint until I find my own balance in the painting, where the art lover can feel an emotional and/or intellectual connection. I wish to share my love for nature. It is literally my source of energy, that I hope to share with my collectors. My quest is not to create the illusion of reality but to suggest with colors and composition the inherent nature of the aesthetic object or feeling.
