Jeannette Guichard-Bunel is a French painter, self-taught, born in 1957 in Cherbourg in Cotentin (Normandy). She grew up in a modest family, her father is a fisherman. Her mother, at home, surrounds her with a lot of love and attention, favoring her taste for drawing, painting and encouraging her to develop her creativity.
