Born in Provence, Laurence David attended the School of Fine Art in Lyon. She began her
career as a commercial artist before turning to fine art in 1978. David's signature style
juxtaposes the nostalgic spirit of an antique print with the subtle color and freshness of a
contemporary watercolor. Her simple, linear renderings are accented with delicate washes of
color.
Inspired by the quaint gardens of Provence and her own passion for collecting antiques,
the artist selects subjects that evoke cherished memories. David carefully researches her
subjects, often from her own collection of antique tools, books and furniture, accurately
rendering even the smallest details.
Her enchanting prints have enjoyed immense popularity both in Europe and the United
States. The artist continues to live near Provence where she maintains her studio.
