Estrella Paints Paris - Paperback

by Greg Nielsen (Author)

Following the death of her father and her breakout success at the New York City Guggenheim, artist Estrella plunges into a "dark night of the soul." While grieving in her hometown of Segovia, Spain a sudden opportunity arises: an interview for a centerpiece commission in the new Notre Dame Museum in Paris.

Swept up in a "gust of destiny," Estrella finds herself navigating the high-stakes art world of Paris, supported by her social-media cousin Luna.From the historic art district Montmarte to the hallowed halls of Notre Dame Cathedral. Estrella must balance her creative focus with the pressures of sudden fame and the complexities of a life lived between two continents.

Guided by the insights of her mysterious friend, a writer known as Señor, Estrella reimagines the traditional Gothic gargoyle - turning stone into pastel-colored symbols of compassion and light. But as a French faction threatens to derail her commission, Estrella must decide if she is ready to become a global celebrity or if her heart belongs in the quiet, creative solitude of her Greenwich Village loft.
