Description
Hello, I am an artist painter and sculptor (58 years old). I am living with my husband (78 years old) and 2 cats. I've created in my home an art gallery and studio / non profit organization to make the exchange with the artists from differents countries and art lovers. I would like to make here the art exhibitions, concerts, residencies, space to work.
I am interesting in ecology and I would like also to make a permaculture vegetable garden and sculpture garden. Gallery is located in Gasny (Eure, Vexin, Upper Normandy) between Giverny (5 km), famous Claude Monet Foundation, Museum of Impressionismes and La Roche-Guyon (3 km), its Castle and beautifull cliffs of the Seine. It is about 55 min from Paris by train (1 hour 30 by car). We are still renovating somes spaces of our house.
