I am Barbara, a French Belgian citizen living in England. I am a technical translator. In my past life, I have been a French teacher in Turin, a tourist guide in Rome, a travel agent in Brussels, a partner in a small leather bags business, an interior design/fashion boutique owner in Folkestone and London...
My grandmother was very creative and taught me some drawing techniques. My only experience in painting is from high school and some summer acrylics workshops in Essex 10 years ago.
The pandemic made me find more creativity in between translating. I wrote a poem and illustrated it for my granddaughters. I love illustration and really want to improve and learn about watercolour and gouache.
I am back for another course with Maru Godas! This time (2024), acrylics! And I am not in the UK anymore but in South West France, near Toulouse, only 4 hours from Barcelona.
