Provence 's rolling farmlands, sun-drenched coasts and looming valleys have always been a source of inspiration to the great painters of history, including Elisabeth Estivalet. A native of Poland, Elisabeth Estivalet fell in love with Provence when she settled in the late 1970's. Though Elisabeth Estivalet holds degrees in both Economics & Philosophy, the countryside of Provence prompted her artistic talent, and she instinctively embarked on a passionate and lifelong career as an artist. Painting solely with a palette knife, Elisabeth Estivalet taught herself to master the techniques of color management, perspective and composition.
