Speaking about her inspiration, the artist said, “It is a return to color, a return to self. I come from Nice, in the south of France, a place where colors speak louder, where the sea and the sky blur into one infinite blue, and where nature is a daily invitation to feel more deeply. As a child, I dreamed of creating – of becoming an artist, maybe an architect. But life took me down a different road, into the world of science, then into marketing, events, and eventually, I opened three coffee shops in the United States. Each chapter fed my curiosity and creativity in its own way.
“Today, I explore painting as a personal and emotional language. My work is intuitive, layered and filled with texture. I use acrylics, pastels, pencil, metal leaf and various other techniques that allow me to express that which moves me. Nature is a constant source of inspiration: the seasons, organic shapes, colors, my travels abroad and the quiet power of light. Each piece I create is an invitation to pause and reflect, a dialogue between color, form and feeling.”
The gallery space at Nassau Valley Vineyards is open every day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The winery is located at 32165 Winery Way, Lewes.
