Arno qui ne croyait pas au père Noël Painting by Carine Capelle (Nelly)

Nelly, a painter and collagist, was accustomed to painting from her childhood. She joined "La Maison des arts" in Gagny, where she studied academic art. In her studies, she gravitated towards Art Deco trades, completing a year of cabinetmaking and art history, as well as a year of bookbinding. Later on, she pursued further training in applied arts, learning various techniques, and also studied graphic design for digital media. Throughout her artistic journey, Nelly never ceased painting and actively participated in several workshops.

For a period of five years, she became associated with the collective "Artistes de l'impasse Germaine" at the St. Ouen workshops. Following this, she established her own studio in Le Raincy, which was open to the public every day. Presently, Nelly has settled in Meudon, where she dedicates much of her time to commissioned portrait work, showcasing her unique Nelly style.
