As I sit here writing about the series I am doing, I see robin redbreasts from my window coming to feed upon the seeds we have left for them. And it makes me think of the next series I am already preparing inwardly and itching to begin It will be about animals. In my search for universal archetypes I have yet to explore this theme more thoroughly. It will be dedicated to all of my friends who care for animals lovingly on a daily basis. Animal souls so need our attention today. In the mean time more practical matters need my attention.

I am still experimenting with this theme of leaves. The leaves I had dried have all been used up. Now that winter has come with less and less tree leaves, I have decided to use the few flower leaves remaining in our garden before they die.

The Night of the Churches, initiated by the Church of France, is a cult and cultural event included in the summer landscape of the dioceses since 2011, enjoying national recognition, and in which several hundreds of participants participate each year. churches.

Excerpt from an Article of the Monadnock Ledger, 5/13/2004
"Finding heart, Finding Voice," these words were spoken by Jane Fonda in her speech at the "National Woman's Leadership Summit" in Washington, DC, in 2003. When a group of sixteen artists gathered here this winter, to organize a group show, they knew that this sentence expressed the vision of their exhibition.

I act accordingly to answer to life's needs
with discernment. There is a time for
everything: action/reflection. I live
according to the laws of nature and spirit.
I avoid hastiness and disorder in order to
establish harmony in my life.
I deepen within myself the true principle
of the universe in order to receive the
light of the spirit.
Always questioning, I re-search universal archetypes. I observe nature, study diverse philosophies and meditate. Then I let go of it all and play with color and form to reveal my inner visions.
Rarely do I start with preconcieved ideas. Often I allow form to evolve out of color. At times I paint in an abstract way, other times my images are more realistic. It all depends upon the moment of inspiration.
The cosmic energy is no longer flowing. I
ask myself about my desires and actions
which are out of balance right now.
I receive abundance by practising
balance between clear thinking and right
action.
Since my childhood, nature has made me happy, serene and creative. The kingdoms that are on this wonderful land inspire me: mineral, plant, animal and human ...
I find inspiration during gardening, in botanical walks, in searching for stones and shells, observing insects, birds and mammals, and especially when I have the chance to have real heart-to-heart conversations with people of all kinds.
I contemplate the world around me, I let it resonate in me. I find this transformed world within my soul and I bring it back to life in my paintings.
Tryptique
I search for the right measure in all
things.
I remain peacefully joyful at all times. The trials of life do not trouble my spirit and do not affect my actions.
