About Cécile Ganne
Cécile Ganne is a French-born writer, painter, and professor whose life bridges two worlds: the ancient rhythms of the Dordogne Valley and the creative hum of Boston’s art scene. She grew up painting with her maternal grandmother in the Dordogne Valley of Southern France, but it was not until she was diagnosed with cancer that she returned to her brushes with renewed vigor and a newly found sense of life.She often paints during the dreamlike, “in-between” ephemeral moments of the day, moments of waiting and anticipation. In her re-imagined oil landscapes, her work aims to capture the fleetingness of daily life and the memories of the sense of place and belonging.
After moving to the United States, Cécile earned a Ph.D. from Boston University and now teaches French language and literature at Wellesley College. Her work is now represented by Three Stones Gallery and Sun Studios in Concord, MA, and she resides in private collections in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. When not writing or teaching, she can be found in her SoWa Boston’s South End studio creating contemplative artwork or leading art meditation ateliers. Whether on the page or canvas, her work explores cultural legacy and the sensuality of place.
