Final Vernissage at Galerie Thuillier Paris

Final vernissage at Galerie Thuillier, Paris ✨

Galerie Thuillier is closing its doors, and this evening (Tuesday 23 June, 6pm) marks its final vernissage — a special last gathering with Denis and the art community before the gallery’s definitive closure.

I first met Denis in 2020, just after my first Art Capital Paris. At the time, I was still very new in my return to painting, having picked up the brush again in France in 2017.

From the beginning, Denis was a true gallerist — someone who connected artists with art lovers, created opportunities, and offered real encouragement.

That connection has been deeply enriching for me. Over the years, Galerie Thuillier became part of my Paris art journey, and I will sincerely miss Denis’s presence in the Paris art scene.

For this final exhibition, with the theme “pink,” I chose Game On! — a painting that felt right for the occasion. Denis always appreciated my horses, so it felt meaningful to bring one more equine presence to this last show.

A heartfelt moment to celebrate 🎨

I would love to see you there if you can come.

Best,
Jeannine

February Art Events [2 Distinctions]

Two art events. Two distinctions for two equine paintings. One extraordinary month to start 2026.

The Lunar Year of the Fire Horse has begun at full steam. 🔥🐴
And for me, it’s personal—1966 is my own lunar year—and it’s been an amazing start to this new year.

The month began with wonderful news: I was honored to receive a Special Mention Award at the Galerie Thuillier Prix du Jury event on February 3, for my monochromatic oil painting "Blue Belle."

Then, on February 14, "Curious Connection" received a Mention from the jury of Le Salon des Artistes Francais (Art Capital 2026) — a milestone moment for me. https://www.artcapital.fr https://www.artistes-francais.com

Thank you for following the work, sharing it, collecting it, or simply sending a kind note when something resonates. It truly makes a difference as the art journey continues. ✨
