Presentation

L'Atelier de la Source in Préfailles is a bright, open space overlooking a charming garden by the sea. Catherine-Rose Charlemagne has been a professional artist for many years, creating her oil paintings in a friendly, inspiring setting.

From an early age, dunes and pines, waves on the horizon, boats and harbours have fed Catherine-Rose's imagination. Today, she has returned to the Pays de Retz and lives year-round in Préfailles.
Initially, in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, her professional experience in art weaving and haute lice tapestry led her towards structured, lively shapes and materials. Then, thanks to oil painting, her taste for light and subtle colours found its best place of expression.

Her sources of inspiration have grown over the years:

walks in the mountains
in the countryside
by the sea,
in different regions and countries.

They have enabled her to explore mineral, plant and aquatic themes right up to the limits of the abstract, and have led her to paint ports, boats and a wide variety of horizons.

Today, in her seafront studio in Préfailles, her palette keeps alive the memory of all these stages. Catherine-Rose is very attached to the region, and takes the time to observe the local heritage, drawing inspiration from it, expressing herself through atmospheres and colours that capture the spirit of the places around her.

Summary of her career :

From 1979 to 1995: Art weaving workshop near Albi. Exhibitions in the Paris region, the Midi Pyrenees and Austria, where she won numerous awards.
From 2000 to 2016: Practice of oil painting. Workshop in Toulouse. Exhibitions of painted works in Toulouse.
From 2010: Annual exhibitions in Toulouse.
