A copy artist at Le Louvre,

That’s how Kate spent her three years of art studies. She learned the secrets of 16th-17th century oil painting techniques. You really could say that she knows Paris’ most famous museum from the inside out. It is from this particular viewpoint that she loves to transmit the fabulously human story of the history of art. For her, walking through the galleries the spirit and culture of the ages vibrates through the chef d’oeuvres.

An artwork is worth a thousand words

And kids understand this. As a mother, Kate is passionate about developing children interest in art. As well as the exciting atmosphere which never fails to impress.
