An ode to nature

An autoportrait serie in the woods.

An autoportrait serie in beautiful Devon.

I’ve witnessed all the seasons in these woods. 

Nestled at the bottom of the valley, near our family home the vicarage, there are Buzzards Woods.

From the majestic birds they take their name from to the magnificent trees, it is a special place. 

With the Spring,

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

With the summer tall and lush grass, turning into beautiful brown shades with the woods in their greenest form. 

Creating Maternity Art amongst the mossy trees.

With the autumn the leaves becoming a painting of all the colours between green to brown. 

With the winter frozen grass shining like diamonds in the apricity & magnificent iced puddles.

Creating autoportraits in the frozen grass, with the song of dozens of robin red breasts.

Throughout the year the birdsong & the stream  constant like nature’s melody. 

When moving back to Europe, Devon was the first place we called home, I feel deeply grateful for my husband’s family, our family that welcomed us with open arms. Steph & Robert are forever the most legendary couple, the sweetest to each other, vicars and strong pillars in their communities. Robert is gone to another heaven and we miss him terribly. This place will forever be a part of me & of this precious time. 

Growing up in Paris it’s like I couldn’t miss something I didn’t know. I’m discovering that I need nature in my life, that I need it close by & that it nurtures my art. 

At nearly 30, I’m embracing muddy wellied walks & touching every mossy tree I see.  

NB of course Buzzards are National Trust woodlands and you know my love for the NT.
