Charlotte Tuquoi was born in Paris into an artistic milieu. After studying history and art history at the Sorbonne, she worked at La Gazette de l'Hôtel Drouot as a sub-editor and journalist. She had always been passionate about painting without ever having dared to take the plunge. After arriving in the south-west of France (in Pau), she joined a small workshop where she experimented with various techniques. In Bayonne (where she now lives), she enrolled in an art school and attended drawing, life modeling and oil painting classes on a regular basis. Since 2013 and the creation of Pastels et Velours (“Pastels and Velvet”), she has only painted with dry pastel. After having started painting frogs, she moved on to pets, working animals and livestock. Children on the beach are also a great source of inspiration.
