Our Guest of Honor:

Bronia Kratzheimer
Image Consultant

Relooking: Changing The Way People See YOU

Many people wonder what relooking is. We live in a society of image and appearance. We are often judged and categorized at first glance. One's self image is as important as the people looking at you. Therefore we need to be satisfied with our appearance.

The role of the Image Consultant is to help us when there is a problem. The work of an Iimage Consultant is to help us to be at peace with ourselves - in terms of how we look - and to help us to show ourselves to our best positive advantage.

Bronia Kratzheimer is originally from Vienna, Austria and previously worked as a language teacher. She is a ployglot: French, Italian, German and English. She has worked intensively with other relooking consultants and also has a background in the theatre, which contributed to the development of her method.

Relooking is as important for men as for women, especially as in terms of professional image and dress codes. Contact Bronia on 01 46 28 97 14 .

"The Evolution Of An Artist "

Tom Byrne
Tom was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland where has worked as a painter for 22 years. He graduated as an industrial model builder, from the College of Marketing and Design, Dublin. He then went to the USA where he trained for two years.
Upon his return to Ireland he resumed a career in painting, founded two arts organizations in Ireland and became a member of the United Arts Club, Fitzwilliam square, Dublin.

In 2004 he had his first solo show and in that same year moved to France with his French wife Amelie. On arriving he began an eight month course in Trompe L’oeil and Faux Painting effects at L’ecole des Peintres where he mastered techniques of painting in egg tempera, as well as much of the secret chemistry of paint. Images of Provence often appear in Tom's work. He is inspired by the strong summer light and the softer winter landscape.

Tom Byrne has just returned, this December 2006, from three weeks in New York where he decorated a room in the infamous Carlton Arms Hotel. The walls of the room have been painted with a mural symbolizing the legend of the apple branch and summarizing, in symbol form, core beliefs of Celtic culture; Please visit http://www.tombyrne.com

For eight years she worked in the Albany, New York area as an illustrator/designer and art director culminating as principle of DAS Illustration and Design Studio.

After briefly living in London where she worked as a freelance illustrator and designer primarily for Ogilvy and Mather Direct, she moved to Ireland in 1992, where she began illustrating books for publishers including Mercier Press, O’Brien Press and Sterling Publishing in NYC. She also did illustrations for advertising and industry, food packaging, and architectural renderings. Simultaneously she began receiving portrait commissions, the most substantial one being a series of oil paintings of past presidents of Bord na Gailge (an office of the Irish Government). unveiled by the Minister of the Arts, Sile Devalera. Before leaving Ireland in 2005, she also began working in interior design.

Six years ago he set up Fine Wine World - www.fine-wine-world.com - importing wines from 15 different countries, New & Old World, into France.

He has just written what he refers to as an international wine thriller , RED CURRENT, which he will tell us more about on Sunday whilst we taste wines from the Fine Wine World selection. Perhaps we can also convince him to tellus a little about RED CURRENT

Farris Smith, Bassist will perform after dinner in different styles. Farris came to France to explore the jazz scene in a country that truly respects and continues to open it's arms to the exploration of this American art form.Visit: www.farrisjazz.com
