Claudine Chalmers moved from her native Cannes, France, to California after graduate studies at the University of Nice. She soon developed great interest in the history of her adoptive Golden State while traveling around the Sierras with her family. Her fascination with early California led her to research and write Splendide Californie: Impressions of the Golden State by French Artists, a book magnificently produced by the Book Club of California which received the Commonwealth Club’s 2001 silver award. An exhibit based on this book was hosted by San Francisco’s California Historical Society and Sacramento’s Crocker Art Museum.
Chalmers resides in the Sierra foothills and continues chronicling the compelling stories of California’s boisterous early days, and the adventures of the French pioneers and artists who preceded her to the Gold Country so long ago.
