ABOUT THE ARTIST
Martine Redonnée

Born in 1952 in Paris.

She now lives and works in Burgundy, France.

She spent her childhood abroad, particularly in Colombia, Brazil and Greece. This has given her a strong affinity for the blending of cultures.
After completing her studies at the College of Pontoise, she took up art at the department of graphic arts at the ESAM (1970-1973).
