Upcoming Exhibitions

A painter looks at colour and shapes in everything they live with. Since 2012 this inspiration has been building up watching the Cognac vineyard that I run. In the span of a year the landscape changes dramatically. Each season has it's individual beauty.

I want to give those people who love art an opportunity to also know more about Cognac and the magic of how it is made. The distillation of white wine then the miraculous slow interaction with the oak wood of the barrel. This is what gives colour and flavour to the spirit. Just like with a wine each Cognac vineyard is unique. 

In this exhibition you will see how pastels can be used to give such emotion and details. The pigments stay true and full of life.

I said to a friend that for me, discovering pastel was like driving a Ferrari having previously driven a Renault 5. You are still driving, but it's a whole different experience!

The marriage between Cognac and my artwork is long overdue and it will be a pleasure for me to welcome you.

Jeanne Maze is an Anglo French artist. She grew up in London, where she attended the Lycée Français and developed a passion for art through her grandfather, the French painter Paul Maze. She studied at the Byam Shaw Art School in London, followed by research work on Chinese art through the archives of the British & Victoria and Albert Museums. She launched a successful career as a muralist specialising in Chinoiserie and Eastern decorative art working in Europe and North America. With a young family she changed her style to more figurative work in gouache and oil, with exhibitions in London and the West of England.

In 2006 she moved to her family's home in South West France where she evolved her style to work in pastel as well as oil and gouache. From her travels she has produced series on Cuba, Morocco and Sri Lanka and now works with the superb collection of pastels she inherited from her grandfather.

A selection of her work is now available online.
