American/French (double nationality) painter living and working in France for twenty-five years, exhibiting internationally. No children but two mischievous bulldogs. Passionate about medieval houses, patina, art, authenticity. Inward oriented, rather solitary but enjoy lively exchange and sharing. Highly manual, tactile--love getting my hands in material, tinkering, creating, surprising. Good sense of humour and irony, generous, warm, focused, interested in meditation and cultivating skillful behaviors and thoughts, self examination leading to personal evolution. Swim or walk daily. Make good lasagne using soy nuggets (perhaps my greatest accomplishment).
