Shan-Merry

Shan-Merry began her artistic studies in 1957 at the Ecole Nationale Superior des Arts et Metiers in Angers, France. By 1972 she was working as a professional fine artist and began exhibiting regularly in Paris and throughout the South of France, including Provence, Cannes, Antibes, and Grasse, as well as other Mediterranean locations.
By the 1990s her works were included in prestigious international collections and exhibitions in Belgium, Germany, Japan, and the United States. Beyond her fine art, Shan-Merry has designed scarves for HERMES, published numerous books and catalogs, appeared in French television features, and created illustrations for various periodicals. She continues to create watercolors and limited edition graphic works, and is represented by Park West Gallery.
Among her important distinctions are the New York Watercolor Prize in 1974 and the Italian Academy “Gold Medal” Signature Prize in 1979. Her vibrant, expressive style has earned her recognition across continents and made her work highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
