RECENT Exhibitions
In March 2020 France was locked down due to the Covid Pandemic and remained so for over a year.
As an artist it provided me with a unique opportunity to spend time in my own vineyard and to assemble a body of work encompassing all aspects of the life of the vine and the vineyard.
The shapes and colours and the changing seasons were reflected in a series of over 30 pastel paintings.
At some point I became more interested in the relationship of the colours to each other. There is often a period in the summer in our region when the evening sky produces a kaléidoscope of colours.
The Spectrum series was born somewhere in the post Covid period and first four paintings were included in the exhibition.

Working in pastel and using the extraordinary pigments in the Roche chalks each picture has an emotional appeal. A visual chromatic nuance.
Jeanne Maze is an Anglo French artist. She grew up in London, where she attended the Lycée Français and developed a passion for art through her grandfather, the French painter Paul Maze. She studied at the Byam Shaw Art School in London, followed by research work on Chinese art through the archives of the British & Victoria and Albert Museums. She launched a successful career as a muralist specialising in Chinoiserie and Eastern decorative art working in Europe and North America. With a young family she changed her style to more figurative work in gouache and oil, with exhibitions in London and the West of England.
In 2006 she moved to her family's home in South West France where she evolved her style to work in pastel as well as oil and gouache. From her travels she has produced series on Cuba, Morocco and Sri Lanka and now works with the superb collection of pastels she inherited from her grandfather.
A selection of her work is now available online.
