Ecorce d'eucalyptus moucheté (corymbia maculata) Painting by Nicole Spiraers

From nature comes my joy....
From the tree comes my energy....
From color comes my happiness....

I was born in Hannut, Belgium (province of Liège) on September 9, 1944.
I grew up in the Hesbignon countryside. From my childhood, I kept this love of nature.
Dad taught me how to plant trees!

Science teacher - Geography... until retirement!
Proud mother of 3 boys: Vincent, Christophe and Raphaël... my happiness... I have hardly any time to devote to leisure.
The well-deserved retirement... 10 years of babysitting in the villas and gardens of the south of France have opened the doors of galleries and museums to me... the gaze towards the beauties of nature.
Self-taught painter; craving for colors, craving for textures.... Passion for trees! And especially their wonderful bark!
As of 2011, I have been painting, from photos, the bark of trees from all over the world...
Since 2013, I have been working from my personal photos.

Depending on my emotions, I sometimes throw myself into abstraction and abstract figuration: very colorful dream landscapes, flowering trees, extraordinary gardens, floral delirium...< br />And horses, and birds... the kiss of a chickadee...

So? You follow me? Beyond my dreams....
