CURRENT MISSION

Taking time to live. Feeling the air and enjoying all the littlest things bringing happiness!

ABOUT ME

Born in Provence, I studied Art and Architecture (didn't go through the 5 years...) in Paris, then painting (marble and wood imitations ) in Van der Kelen's school in Brussels. Since working in Hôtel Le Manoir, Port-Cros island, southern France. I've always been busy making little hand craft with paper, small metal and wood pieces, and drawing. Now drawing illustrations for children, dancing ballroom dances and gardening in my family place ...

PHILOSOPHY

Taking time to live, trying to escape from all the generally accepted ideas, about educative, trading and virtual systems...
