About the author

Charlotte Bourgeon

I am French, based in the sunny South of France. I am passionate for Arts and literature. I became fascinated by street art when I was in college. In 2012, I decided to take up the challenge of writing a 100-page Master's thesis about the art of Banksy. And in 2014, I created my own facebook page (Artistreet), promoting global street art, and also I have been contributing to several street art platforms writing articles on my favorite murals.
