Who is Francoise Nielly?
Early Life
Growing up in the South of France where she lived between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, is never far from the light, the color sense and the atmosphere that permeates the South of France. This is coupled with her studies with her studies at the Beaux arts and Decorative Arts, and her sense of humor and of celebration.
She was educated informally by her father, an architect and teacher. Before becoming a painter, Nielly worked in advertising. She decided that the pressure of her advertising job was too much for her and a change of career was necessary for self-preservation.
