Martine Roch - A French artist and her unusual friends

In the 21st century, digital art has become another medium used by some artists to express themselves. Galleries and museums have been displaying the best examples of digital art in their contemporary art collections.
Not surprisingly, French artists are still setting a standard of excellence in all aspects of artistic pursuits, including digital art.  Martine Roch is a French artist from Dijon who creates a fantastic world of delightful animal friends.
Take a look at the pictures below.

If you'd like to have a bag or a pillow or a coffee mug with one of Martine's animal friends printed on it, please click HERE to visit Martine Roch page at Society 6.  I've "adopted" two of her animal friends for myself already - in the form of canvas shopping totes!
And click HERE to visit Martine Roch at Fine Art America to buy prints and greeting cards of her animal characters.
Below are three of her delightful characters:

Lizzie and her Cat
The Wise Man

The Little Chatterbox

French Art Deco lady


This Art Deco painting was the first thing I bought for myself in France and it still hangs on my living room wall.  I found it in an antique center in Bordeaux. The matte was water damaged, but I bought it anyway.  The local framer was able to match the matte color. He replaced the matte, but preserved the original frame and glass.
