My style incorporates a medley of influences from various art forms. Here is a taste of what interests and inspires me...
I have always been a ravenous reader in both French and English, and my bookshelves are filled with the works of Updike, Bellow, Henry Miller, Nabokov, Sade, Proust, Celine, Queneau, Boris Vian, among many others. Still a cinéphile, I go to the films of Lang, Minnelli, Preminger, Delmer Daves, Godard, Truffaut time and time again. Music always fills my house, whether it be classical (Richard Strauss, Berg, Martinu, Janacek, Debussy), Jazz (Coltrane, Mingus, Miles Davis, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy), or some other variety I am exploring at the moment. In recent years, I have become an avid cook and often take cooking lessons with Chef Jean-Pierre in Ft. Lauderdale. When in Paris, you can find me indulging in the French fine cuisine of my youth at Le Lyonnais and Chez Allard.

Jean-Claude Boutrouille was born in Orleans, France, where he attended the high school of Lycée Pothier with Alain Corneau who went on to become a revered French film director. JC then headed to university at la Faculté de Pharmacie de Paris. While in Paris, he so often frequented la Cinémathèque française de la Rue d'Ulm that he saw over 300 movies a year with the likes of Bertrand Tavernier, Barbet Schroeder, Bernard-P. Guiremand, Jean-Serge Breton, and poet Yves Martin. During this time, he also got a taste of the music of Luc Ferrari, one of his next-door neighbors in Paris.
JC spent any vacation time at le Club Méditerranée, now known as Club Med, pursuing his other passions: diving and boating. His trip through Central and South America was to be the first of many.
Upon leaving university, JC as a Sergeant Instructor during the last two years of the Algerian War. The war ended just shortly before his scheduled deployment.
JC worked as a pharmacist throughout France in Orléans, Paris, Cannes, and Mougins. In the 1970's, he moved to Martinique (F.W.I.) and bought his first pharmacy in the city of Schoelcher and his suceeding pharmacy in the capital of Fort-de-France. While working in Martinique, JC met his wife Jacqueline, a practicing family physician, and became father to his only daughter Benedicte.
In 1991 at the end of the Mitterrand years, JC voted with his feet and moved with his family to the United States to Charleston, S.C. They became proud U.S. citizens in 1998. JC and his wife currently reside in Lighthouse Point, Florida where Jacqueline is psychiatrist specializing in addiction. Their daughter Benedicte is an attorney. Their Florida lifestyle reflects an important pattern in their lives- always south and seaside! As best stated by Pierre Schoendorfer in Le Crabe Tambour, “A man is nothing without a boat...”
