Thursday seems to be the new Friday in Provence this September, and last night saw many Network Provence ladies off to Mollégès to the opening view of Ashley Tinker’s exhibition at la Bibliothèque de Molleges (https://opac-x-bibliothequemolleges.biblix.net/)

Ashley had an excellent turnout on the still sultry September evening and judging by the red dots, it was also a successful event. 

Ashley Tinker is an anglophone Canadian artist living and working in Provence for the last ten years. Well known for her photography and lifestyle blog @curiousprovence, the free time of the pandemic saw her begin to paint in earnest. You can learn more about her work and projects at https://curiousprovence.com 

Her paintings are multi-view; at a distance, they are close to photographic representations of the sublime light and terrains we have all come to Provence to adore. Stepping up to a closer look reveals details and textures that are incredibly satisfying and masterfully precise. It was a delight to see these paintings in person, and you can visit the exhibition until the 27th of September.

Of course, the company was also a delight as we mingled and story-swapped with like-minded but diverse Network Provence members and others from the many corners of our belle region. 

Network Provence is a great gateway to learn and share the area’s events, talents, and happenings. Get in touch to learn about the membership and access to this vibrant community of anglophone women of Provence.
