ARTIST STATEMENT:
There isn’t a manual to being an artist, and there isn’t a manual for being alive.
Obstacles and challenges throughout life are inevitable. For me being creative means taking risks and ignoring doubt and facing my fears.
We think with our hands as much as our brains. Creating is a type of meditation, an active training of the mind that increase awareness and emphasizes acceptance of feelings and thoughts without judgment and relaxation of body and mind.
I express myself thru my art, it is in many aspects an extension of who I am.
I am an observer, giving the viewer a ‘slice of life’ be it an emotion, a situation or a moment in time.

Propositions artistiques en échange de la résidence (oeuvres, cours, ateliers, dîner, concert...) : I would like to expand and share my knowledge of creating art in all its forms, from conceptualising, painting, textiles etc. I am very comfortable teaching children and grown ups. I am very varied in my art and process driven. I want to offer fine art painting, (very comfortable in oil, acrylics, mixed media and embroidery) fabric painting and silk screen printing, sun dying, working with nature and to explore eco-dying. I would be very grateful to be considered to be hosted as an artist.
Description du lieu recherché (nature, urbain, autre) : I prefer beautiful open spaces, ample light - Nature Nature, mountains and ocean is my preffered environment. It would be great to also explore urban areas, to visit other galleries and artists for inspiration. I would like to have balance and experience bit of both if possible. I believe in a holistic approach and that all art forms are inevitably moving back to our roots and nature.
Quels sont vos projets de résidence ? : I would like to share my knowledge of creating art in all its forms, from conceptualising, painting & textiles. I am very comfortable teaching children and grown ups. I am very varied in my art and process driven. I want to offer fine art painting, (very comfortable in oil, acrylics, mixed media and embroidery) fabric painting and silk screen printing, sun dying, working with nature and to explore eco-dying. Every so often I offer 'Art Splodges' in my studio, where children, creatives and non creatives are joining in and painting, making collages/art and just connecting thru art. I had quite a few children birthday celebrations where i have silk screenprinted some t shirts with the children and they paint their own t shirts.

Description du type d’espace de travail souhaité (bureau, atelier, salle de répétition…) : Big open Studio space with ample natural light and big windows. A basin and running water. tressel tables, chair,. When eco dying and sun dying is involved it is important to be able to go outside and if there is a few trees or plants around, would be a bonus!

    Je suis une artiste autodidacte, et mon travail se déploie dans un univers vibrant et coloré, entre peinture et sculpture, où les formes et motifs cernés de noir trouvent leur énergie dans l’intuition et l’instinct. Mon univers est inspiré par le fauvisme, les arts populaires d’Amérique latine et d’Inde, les arts premiers, et par l’art brut, pour sa liberté et sa force expressive. Je compose des figures féminines et des créatures hybrides, accompagnées de motifs décoratifs et symboliques, donnant naissance à des formes presque totémiques, reconnaissables dès le premier regard.

    I am a self-taught artist, and my work unfolds in a vibrant and colorful universe, between painting and sculpture, where forms and patterns outlined in black draw their energy from intuition and instinct.

    My artistic world is inspired by Fauvism, the folk arts of Latin America and India, tribal arts, and Art Brut for its freedom and expressive power. I create female figures and hybrid creatures, accompanied by decorative and symbolic motifs, giving rise to almost totemic forms that are recognizable at first glance.

    Arts plastiques - Arith (France) - 04/04/2026

    Je dessine depuis mon plus jeune âge, et j'ai toujours entretenu une passion pour la BD. J'aime observer et dessiner le monde qui m'entoure : les animaux, les gens dans la rue, dans les cafés, dans les trains, et les musiciens, car je suis aussi chanteuse (j'ai un groupe et je chante dans un orchestre baroque. Je recherche un lieu, pour une semaine ou plus, dans le but de réaliser des croquis sur le vif, rencontrer des gens, tisser des liens. Des histoires à raconter, du chant à partager, a calme, dans la nature ou dans un lieu inspirant.
