Intonations of Life: Notes If I were… I would be…, Bed sheets in the sun, Being “une maman”, Wearing tomatoes , Atelier details.
I have thought a long long loooong time on how I would write this first post?
How should I present myself and give you right away a little piece of my intimacy, something extra that would luckily trigger your curiosity.
Several Journeys around the sun behind me, weathered by storms, but unconditionally looking at life with the eyes of a child. You will learn most likely to know me along these posts but for now…
IF I WERE… I WOULD BE…
A sound – An heartbeat
A season – Eternal summer
An element – Water
A thing – A white shirt
A landscape – A lost beach
A fruit – A tomato
A colour – A painter palette
A book – The Ice People by Barjavel
A Plant – An old tree
A feeling – Desire
An animal – Cicadas in the garden of my childhood house
Food – Parmesan
A way of Life – Surfer
A place – Puerto Escondido in 1997
A Song – Le Sud by Nino Ferrer
A texture – Rice paper
A future adventure – Japan
A source of inspiration – The imperfect
A word – Life
But I am above All, A Mother

Journals.
Stealing Life on film and drawing It, is my language. While others write their diaries, I draw my journal instead since 1997.
I am a French-born creative adventurer based in Oslo where I ended up because of love. While working in fashion for over 20 years, first in Paris, in my early years at Jalouse and training in Christian Lacroix atelier, then designing for a Norwegian company, I have dedicated my sensitivity to the visual language; drawing, annoting, photographing, collaging, mixing, drawing, manipulating…. All means to achieve a sense of elegance.
Devoted to Paper and the hand touched, I collect the multiple intonations of Life. You will find here a piece of my journal echoing to my extraOrdinary, you will travel along into uncharted territories following the paths of creativity and hopefully stay close to me 🙂
TWWP and I, have inspired each other for some years now and I am SO grateful to have this place in their community!
MERCI
If you wish to see a bit more of me hahah :), you can read the Small Talk published a year ago by TWWP here.
And the series Time Passing in the magazine no.07
À bientôt
