Danielle Jacqui, known as "She Who Paints", started embroidery to attract customers while working in fleamarkets. Her first creation in the Seventies was a complex, brightly coloured embroidery that took over a year to finish. From this she progressed to painting, making three-dimensional objects and embroidery figures."
"Gradually her creative urge took over her life - and her house. Before long, its interior surfaces were covered with a rich colourful mosaic of mirror and ceramic fragments, combined with richly painted images. Overpowering in texture and colour, the continually evolving forms flow one into another around the house, heedless of the distinction between wall and ceiling."
"The paintings attached to the facade of this little village house near Marseille now have as their background an ever-growing mosaic relief. Danielle Jacqui is one of the foremost members of the Artistes Singuliers group of self-taught artists from Provence in southern France."
