Katty Grebot-Scharwatt, born in 1956 in Lyon (France), demonstrated from early childhood an ability to paint. Her first exhibition took place when she was aged 15 years old, and her very first painting was awarded a first prize by a jury, during a stay in England.
After two years at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Lyon, frustration and a need for space led her to take her "sketchbook and backpack," on the path of the sun and the sea. Exposed to the maritime element the desire to go even further took her, and the boat became essential to her existence. The watercolor technique and travels are in perfect harmony with the maritime element.

Many travel on the oceans led her to sharpen her artistic gaze upon meeting various vessels.

"The constructions of a watercolor beseech all at once, the experience of a shipwright for the structure of the design and the sensitivity of an artist to go beyond appearances."
"In the tradition to these reporters and witnesses of ancient times, maritime artist perpetuate exceptional moments."
"For over thirty years, my two passions, navigation and painting have now, for me, become inseparable."
