With a background spanning industrial design, printmaking, and even Arabian horse competitions in the UAE, Jean-François brings a diverse and deeply personal perspective to his art. His journey led him to embrace watercolor as a way to capture fleeting moments, wherever his travels take him. Jean-Francois will guide students through his approach to distilling light, atmosphere and emotion into paintings.
