Meet the artists – Sabine Fournier
Sabine Fournier has been painting for twelve years, a passion that has grown with time and experience. She was lucky enough to take courses in Payerne with an experienced artist, who taught her the basics as well as the technique of the materials. Today, she’s pursuing this artistic path by giving painting lessons of her own and sharing her passion with others. Passing on and sharing are an integral part of her approach. For the past six years, she has also run her own gallery, La Galerie la Belle Toile, on rue du Bourg in Martigny. Here she exhibits her own work as well as that of local artists. The gallery has become a lively place for meeting, discovering and sharing contemporary art. We look forward to welcoming you. But tonight, we’re delighted to welcome her to Saillon!
