I took care of an eight-year-old boy and attended classes at Saint Denis.&nbsp; I was afraid to go out because my French was not very good.&nbsp; Often I was alone in my room at night, feeling isolated and cold.&nbsp; My little space heater was insignificant compared to the damp cold of the Parisian winter creeping through my slanted roof-top window.&nbsp; A shoe store used an alley down the street for its garbage, where I found bundles of cardboard boxes.&nbsp; These were my first canvases.&nbsp; I poured my solitude into colors and shapes spread on old pieces of cardboard.&nbsp; And so it began&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first &#8220;church&#8221; painting started with the image of the little chapel close to my grandmother&#8217;s old house in Brasov.&nbsp; I loved sneaking off to visit this place in my childhood.&nbsp; This began a relationship with my tangled Romanian roots through painting.&nbsp; When I paint I am not bound by a place, a time, an identity.&nbsp; Through these images I can enter into this undefined place and experience glimpses of a reality that exists in my heart.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visit Mireille&#8217;s website to see more images of her art and to read her blog at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mireille-eastman.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.mireille-eastman.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"2254\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.franklinart.org\/WordPress\/artist-galleries\/artist-galleries-a-h\/artist-gallery-mireille-eastman\/eastman-mireille-saint-nicholas-church\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.franklinart.org\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Eastman-Mireille-Saint-Nicholas-Church.jpg?fit=1214%2C1600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1214,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Saint Nicholas Church\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Saint Nicholas Church&amp;#8221;
