Audrey Marienkoff 1980 | France

Marienkoff est une jeune artiste peintre au parcours atypique. Prothésiste dentaire, il y a quelques années encore, elle profitait de son temps libre pour peindre. Mais la passion est tenace, attirée par le dessin depuis son plus jeune âge, elle a décidé, un beau jour, de vivre de la peinture et des arts plastiques. Depuis elle a laissé les prothèses dentaires, pour faire place aux pinceaux et toiles, et en fait désormais sa profession.
