Ms. Rouillier has been drawn to nature all her life. At the University of Melbourne she was a Commonwealth Scholar and did invertebrate research at Wilson鈥檚 Promontory in Australia. She graduated with a Biology degree and went on to teach in Australia, Japan and the United States. Rouillier set up a joint ecological project between Meiji Gankuen High School in Kitakyushu, Japan and The School of Math and Science in Mobile, Alabama, funded by the Fulbright Master Teacher Program. Today Rouillier lives by the water on Mobile Bay where she paints and photographs birds and the natural world of the vast delta estuarium. 鈥淧ainting makes me feel as vibrantly alive as the creatures that I portray,鈥� she explains. She is grateful to USA Professor Emeritus James Conlon for his guidance and encouragement.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours.
