I am a French self-taught artist, and these past twenty years I have made Norway my home. Moving to the Lofoten islands was the greatest present I ever made to myself and the Arctic landscapes are indeed a true treat for any artist’s eyes. I live with my British soulmate, my sweet Papillon girls, Lucy and Pixie and the spirit of my border collie, Loki. My creativity is a tribute to the eyes that blink in the heart of every smallest thing, the flowing dreams whose pulse tries to reach to us in our most meditative state.
As I redesigned my Home, I also redesigned my blog, although the latter was so much more complicated, it was a steep learning curve and it took me two weeks of intense mind wrenching, BUT it is done at last! And I’m going to experiment with these new possibilities in a creative project. But more about this later. I also

This is what I mean by Troll's home. Trolls are great, you know. They're exactly where they're meant to be, they take as much as space as they need and never feel sorry for it. Troll magic is extremely creative and potent, raw and primitive.
The polar night has started even though I have been deprived of sunlight most of November. Pitiless sun ;-). But Father Frost brought me some light and fluffy crispy delights this morning. Loki was quite frosted by the end of the walk. I made fun of him looking like an old chap, not realizing my hair was frosted too.
I should take a video sometime of the ice sheets in the fjord because the sound they produce is amazing, it sometimes sounds like whales. Beautiful and spooky.
I opened an Etsy shop, at last. For now there are two stationery sets available for download, but since I just bought a excellent Canon printer, soon there will be physical cards and so on for sale. I also plan to sell a few ceramic and felt works. Here's the link:
