St. Louis Children's Aquarium Gala featuring
Plein air paintings by Brian Mahieu
October 15, 2003, Marriott West Hotel, St Louis Missouri

In 1987 Mahieu traveled to Paris, France and lived in the Latin Quarter for one month. During that time he was able to see the great impressionist masterpieces, and to visit "the shrine" -- Monet's home and garden in Giverny. Upon his return from France, Mahieu devoted himself to painting exclusively en plein air --outside, directly from nature.
