| On the Art Side... |
Durand looks beyond the distinction between realism and abstraction and creates an unique distinctive style known as the “Durand visionary realism”.
Durand’s modern day mastery of the ancient Italian and Greek art of sculpting stone provided the perfect palette for her sensuous image of woman’s enduring beauty and gives the message of unconditional love and unity always.
Durand’s work is among collections in France, Italy, Switzerland, Canada, Hong Kong, as well as major cities in the United States such as Los Angles, New York, and San Francisco.
She is considered a world peace Artist and had major exhibitions in Beverly Hills with World Vision and the Association of Human Rights in Germany.
