I paint because I need to. I paint what my hand wants to paint.
Brooke Major, is an American artist born 1979 and native of Atlanta, GA. She has been living and working as a professional artist and sharing her time between the USA (Georgia) and France for the past 20 years.
As a child, Brooke has always been top of her class in drawing and painting, as well as an avid equestrian, which led her to move to Normandy to breed and raise them for the sport of showjumping.
She moved initially to Paris to study political science at an American university, but felt herself drawn more towards the arts and followed auditing classes at the Beaux Arts school in Paris.
Brooke sculpts oil paint, using palette knives challenging both techniques of painting and sculpting and exemplifying light and shadow. She chooses all of her subjects from her childhood experiences: travelling, horses and architecture.
Brooke also depicts her everyday life in her recent subject of her landscapes of the typical Normand countryside.
