Lucien Biva
Lucien came from a family with a long history of artists so it was no surprise when he took up the brush himself. He began his artistic career in France, but soon immigrated to the United States to make a name for himself. Lucien eventually settled in the Catskills, drawing his inspiration from the natural environment around him.
