Genevieve French was born in England in 1969 and lived in Wales, Australia, France and London as a child. Her worldly perspective and love of bold colour as well as of animals and insects inspired early collage and paintings. Her current work includes collage as well as portraits, landscapes and abstract paintings, working mostly in oils. She graduated from The Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea with a Diploma in Portraiture. French now lives in Oxfordshire and works from her studio in Henley-on-Thames. She has exhibited in the Old Fire Station Gallery in Henley and Mall Galleries in London. She has been shortlisted for the Artists and Illustrators Magazine ‘Artist of the Year’ award and is tutored in portraiture by Maggi Hambling CBE.
