Who Am I ?
Who Am I ?
Dreamy, sensitive and introverted, I have a crazy project to create a world of words and images that correspond to who I am inside. In my other line of work (the one that pays the bills :)), I am, somewhat in spite of myself, forced to come out of my shell, out of my comfort zone, to be public and pragmatic. There’s no room in this other life for mental wandering, the magic of stories, the beauty of inner landscapes, so I’ve decided to create a specific place in my life for my other self, that of artist, creator.
I started drawing a very long time ago and then it all died out at a time when life was particularly difficult. One day, I reconnected with that creative part of me that I thought had disappeared. It did me a world of good, a real therapy. So I’ve been drawing and painting again for almost four years now, whenever I have the time. I didn’t have any particular plans to make it a public project, but those around me pushed me and I thought why not. It’s a gentle, quiet and satisfying new adventure, with no particular ambitions, no economic constraints, just the pleasure of creating, sharing, learning and living.
This site is the reflection of my creative journey. It’s the expression of my desire to share with the world what’s going on in my head, the images, the stories. I hope you enjoy it.

One last little note: I’m dyslexic, so writing is a huge challenge for me. I always proofread a lot but I don’t always see the mistakes, especially if I’m tired. For spelling enthusiasts, lovers of the French language for whom mistakes make the hairs on the arm stand up, teeth grind, give up reading, please don’t criticize harshly. What helps me most? Your kindness in pointing out mistakes, and if you have a mnemonic so that I remember and don’t make the same mistake again, that would be great! Thank you in advance for your kindness and help.
PS: English is not my first language, but I love to write, read, speak english, that is why I decided to have a biluigual website, but, you may have notices, sometin my phrasing is a bit wonky ;), Sorry for that !
