Laurie Fox Pessemier lives with her husband, Blair Pessemier and her dog Berlino, in Italy.

They are Americans who lived in France for 20 years, and moved to Italy in 2015.  This self-imposed exile gives Laurie the freedom to follow her muse.  She writes about her creative life in a weekly column, Artnotes, an assortment of writings and paintings.  She and her husband have written and published more than 20 children’s books.  Since August 2020 she hosts an online Sunday Art Salon.

Blair and Laurie Pessemier offer painting workshops.

Learn more about them and see their paintings on www.paintfox.com or contact Laurie at Lfpessemier@gmail.com
