BEYER ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE: Louise Sartor
Generously supported by Mrs. Michele Beyer
$325 for workshop series
Join artist Louise Sartor for an intimate digital drawing workshop exploring the beauty of banality and everyday subjects. Participants will learn to translate traditional techniques into digital media, focusing on composition, texture, and mood. Taking advantage of the playfulness of drawing apps, this hands-on session encourages finding a balance between naivety and keen observation, between skill and spontaneity and relies on the strong conviction that drawing is a universal and primal way of expression accessible to everyone.
A French painter who is known for her evocative and unconventional works that blend classical technique with contemporary sensibility. Trained in scenography at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and later earning a Master’s from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Louise Sartor is celebrated for creating intimate portraits, moody landscapes, and delicate still life’s on found and repurposed materials — particularly mass-market packaging. Her work reflects on transience, memory, and the quiet beauty of decline, often using mediums like oil, gouache, and silverpoint to emphasize fragility and time’s passage. Sartor has exhibited widely, with solo shows at Galerie Crèvecoeur (Paris) and Galerie Belami (Los Angeles), and in group exhibitions including Voyage d’Hiver at the Château de Versailles. In 2022, she designed the official Roland-Garros poster.
