AUTHOR: Ga�tane Nicoulin-B�chir grew up in a verdant region of northwestern Switzerland. She spent her childhood in the fields braiding wreaths of flowers and arranging bouquets of beautiful wildflowers. Her grandmother and, later, her mother would gather the flowers and use them to make remedies or delicious aromatic recipes. Ga�tane, a chemistry laboratory specialist, has always remained connected to nature, and watercolour has become a means of telling her story. Painting this facet of the natural wilderness is a way for her to reveal its fragile and poetic beauty, to show how it deserves to be observed and preserved. Ga�tane has enjoyed sharing her technical and creative knowledge for several years now, learning to sharpen her vision in classes and workshops. To communicate to an even wider audience the poetry as well as the peace of mind that the practice of watercolour provides.
