| Cecile Brunswick | |

I was born in Antwerp, Belgium into a very musical family, and we moved to New York City just before the outbreak of World War II. |
| About the Artist | |
I love color and was always intrigued by the way my mother selected and matched her wardrobe. French painters used fresh vivid colors which attracted me. |

| Education and biography | |
| I attended the High School of Music & Art, received a Bachelor's Degree at Queens College, NYC., and earned an MIA at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. I thought I'd become a diplomat instead my paintings have become ambassadors. I've had solo shows at Franklin 54 Gallery in NYC, Paul Mellon Art Center, Wallingford, Ct., the Broome Street Gallery, NYC, French Institute Alliance Francaise. Group shows iinclude the Hudson River Museum, Bolognafiere touring show seen in Japanese museums, and recently in City Without Walls' Metro show in Newark, NJ. Gallery 8 Fashion Center Art Festival juried exhibit included my oil painting in October 2009. |

| Future shows | |
| I was juried into and received a scholarship for the ART TORONTO PROJECT, an art festival taking place from March 4 - 7th in 20010 in Canada. | |
