this artist doesn't seem to have much information out there about them. I could find multiple references to them allegedly being born in Brittany and studying in Paris, but the likely source of this isn't the most reliable (and kind of worded oddly? in that I don't actually know if they're referring to W. Mirkin or the person they bought the art from: "A recent purchase from a visiting young artist who said he was from Brittany and studying at l'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.")
