Laure Nermel
"My heart beats to the rhythm of art in all its forms. As a frequent exhibition-goer and avid reader, I’m always on the lookout for new cultural experiences. Growing up on the Left Bank, and then the Marais as a teenager, I was inspired by the creativity of Paris. I started fiddling with paints and brushes even before I could write.
My many trips abroad has given my English a unique mix of South African and British accents. Performing on stage with amateur casts has allowed me to convey my fascination for artistic traditions with passion and emotion. I love how works of art become doors to other worlds, and how their stories fuel the viewer’s imagination. As a guide, I want to be part of that transformative process for my visitors."
My favorite place in Paris to make an evening special is the Théâtre Mogador, the best venue in town for first-rate musicals.
After a preparatory course in Humanities for her BA and two MAs (University of Cape Town and University of Westminster), Laure specialised in 19th century painting and museum display, with a keen interest in gender studies and pop culture. She now combines her professional activities with part-time teaching at Université Paris-Nanterre, while pursuing her PhD research on Pre-Raphaelite muse, artist and poet Elizabeth Siddal (1829 – 1862).
