Francoise-Marie Thein,

"Le Chat" Bas Relief 18" x 16"

I studied Decorative Arts in Brussels, Belgium, and while teaching Fine Arts at Notre Dame de Lourdes in Diekirch, Luxembourg for several years, I started working as an independent artist. Over the years, I have refined the fine art of watercolor on silk and also turned to charcoal sketching, oil on canvas and my passions, sculpture, terra cotta, ceramics, and fused glass.

I moved to the US in 1989, and lived in Greenwich, Connecticut. I have worked at Rye Arts Center and at the Art Life Studio, with sculptors Ron Mineo and Michael J. Keriopian in Port Chester, NY.​

Since 2006 I'm residing in Naples, Florida, where I have worked with sculptor Frank de la Roche at the Art League of Bonita Springs, Florida, where I am an active member. My focus at this moment is on ceramics and fused glass, mixing them on occasion. My sculptures are in terra cotta, ceramics, wax, resin, stone and bronze. Occasionally I go back to paintings and mosaics.

My works can be found in private, corporate and public collections in:

U.S.A,
Luxembourg,
France,
Belgium,
Netherlands,
Austria,
Japan,
Switzerland,
Ireland,
Bermuda..
