A few short notes about Papillon by her
husband Bob:
Thank you for visiting our website. It is
my pleasure to introduce you to a remarkable woman, my wife,
Papillon. In the following articles you will read a bit about
her. Let me add that she is also very unusual in the
discipline she brings to her craft. She is always working on
art and is very prolific often producing over one hundred
artworks per year. She is also wonderfully bubbly and fun to
be around. It is not at all unusual for visitors to the
gallery to hug her before they leave.
Her gallery is visually stunning. It is
far more colorful than the galleries most people are used to.
It "makes me feel good" is a very common comment.
All artists "paint their personality" on their
canvases. You can read from this that the artist Papillon
paints the way she is as a person. Intense, intelligent,
powerful, very much like a boxer in a ring. She literally
lunges into her work. The large canvases actually produce a
thundering sound as she works them. She loses her voice and
is weakened by the ordeal these large paintings put her
through. The large abstracts are absolutely incredible
powerful works of art. I've been in galleries all over the
world. Nobody paints like her and very few abstracts affect
me and visitors to our gallery like hers do. They stop people
in their tracks. I only wish their impact could hit you over
the internet. All her works small to large carry this
happy-powerful feeling.
We are always amused at what happens when
someone new steps into the gallery for the first time. Their
mouth drops open and they slowly turn and take in the
spectacle. They also enjoy it when she sits at her Yamaha
Conservatory Grand Piano in the center of the gallery and
gets them involved in a sing along. To this day as far as I
know when we had the shop in Carmel we were the only gallery
in the town's history to have people inside and outside in
the courtyard dancing to Cajun music. We play real music in
the gallery. Everything from Pavarotti to Rolling Stones
often loud enough to induce
dancing and such. If you are in the neighborhood stop in and
enjoy yourself.
