Henrie Richer - Artist & Photographer"I spent my childhood in the Kent countryside, in the south east of England.My great desire as a child was to be an artist, a painter like my mother, who brought her artist’s aesthetic to every aspect of our lives. But I thought I had little talent for art, so I studied for a BA in French and Italian and after graduating, promptly moved to France to marry my very own Frenchman.I have come back to art later in life, after working in English language training, translation and journalism. We live in the countryside near Paris, in a little village, with our two cats and dog, who fill the space left by our grown up daughters. I am a contemplative artist, in that I endeavour to capture the emotion that a scene, object or person, evokes for me and not the reality."
