Born November 13, 1943
Prisca lives in Martigny
(Valais - Switzerland).

Prisca comes from a family of painters, musicians and scientists. Spending her youth
in the south of France (Menton) had a deep influence on her future creations.
She started very young with watercolour under the direction of her grand-mother.
It was her first initiation to art and she still loves it today.
But the luminosity of the south is still haunting her:
For over 40 years, she tried to master colours and luminosity. Passionately she
developed a new means of expression:
a very personal and elaborate "mixed media" that captures colours and luminosity
on a silk canvas. This allows her to create paintings of a unique character,
that she calls as her "Soies" ©
She chose "PRISCA" as her artist's name, in memory of her grandmother
who was her first guide and teacher.
