Artistic approach For J Dann, painting and etching are like a script … a language … a means of expression … of conveying emotion … a message. Like painting and enraving, the written word is a letter sent to those who hear … who receive … who listen to the beating of their heart and to life itself. It is a gift we give to whoever wishes to receive it. Using motion … colours … materials on various media, we often express the inexpressible … the unsayable. It is an unselfish gift shared without expectating anything in return. It is the soul’s life-breath. It is speaking … telling … revealing everything that words cannot truly transcribe.

Professional experience Until 2001, Jdann taught piano at two local music colleges (in Plaisir and Beynes) specialising in introductory music classes for young children. She also played harpsichord in a Baroque ensemble (Les Tourelles). From 1985, she trained as a teacher of the Martenot painting technique in Neuilly. She was captivated by the Martenot method (which was incidentally devised by a family of musicians) based on gestures, sensitivity and the beauty of lines, since it resonated with her own feelings so closely connected to the world of music. From 1978, she began to exhibit her work on an occasional basis. She moved to Limousin in 1986 where she organised regular exhibitions and set up a non-profit organisation in 1991 named the Atelier Ancienne Ecole de Villefavard (AA E V). She also gave drawing and painting classes to children and adults, first during the school holidays and subsequently throughout the year. Moreover, she taught at the primary school in Magnac Laval and produced two murals in covered playgrounds with the children. In 1988, she set up a salon of fine art in Magnac Laval which she closed in 2011. At the same time, she also set up the Rencontres d’Arts Contemporains in Droux which combined plastic arts, music and poetry slams. From 2007, she was furthermore involved in a non-profit organisation known as APCAL which organised international exchanges (this organisation was shelved in 2011). Since 2011, Jdann has focused exclusively on her own work and saves all her energy for various travel engagements. At the same time, J Dann writes poetry as a tonic to all these activities. She now also writes short stories and has published several books for everyone's pleasure. Athis December 2012
