Brossac: Two painters from across the Channel on the picture rails of the town hall

A graduate of the Dublin Institute of Technology, Judith Cullivan also studied fashion design at the National College of Art and Design in the same city. “We bought a house near Brossac in 2005 and we spend several months of the year there. I find inspiration there for many of my paintings,” confides the one who specializes in pastel, watercolor, pen and ink. Although she has been a member of several artistic groups in Ireland, she has already exhibited in France, notably at Château Talleyrand in Chalais.

For eight years, Alison Davies has lived on rue de Bellevue in Brossac. After 27 years of experience as a painter and high school art teacher in Oxford, she left teaching to devote herself entirely to painting. “Changes of light and expressions of mood are my inspiration,” admits the one who likes oils and acrylic inks to translate landscapes, skies and seascapes.

The two artists also decided to devote the Friday morning slot to the school’s three primary classes.
