No need to explain why I am in Provence: come and see my paintings and books! It is not only the light but also the landscape. To live and work here is to transmit the artistic spirit of the place.

In the gallery, you will find my paintings in oil, pigments, watercolours and designs, exhibition posters and postcards, and

some limited-edition prints.                     Shipping is possible.

An art book will be published in May 2025. The authors have dedicated a chapter to my work.It is in French but will be translated in English as well:“Cezanne à Châteaunoir. L’histoire d’une fascination”, editions H.Chopin.

 

Want to stay in touch? There is a monthly e-mail newsletter in French, English and German. You are very welcome!

Springing Out with Network Provence 

Published on by Rebecca Ronane

April has been a banner month within the links of Network Provence, proving once again that connection is so vital.  

The first meeting in February at our new location in Cafe de la Gare, Bonnieux, prompted a fortuitous collaboration between gallery owner Miriam Hartmann of Gallerie Á in Aix-en-Provence and several Network Provence artists. This culminated in a special exhibition of 5 women at the beautiful Gallery A. Janice Jacquet, Lynn Rousseau, Raina Stinson, Claire Wyldbore and host Miriam for a pop-up showing of their works in paints, textiles and photography. It was such a show of the talent pool available through NP. The openness of networking afforded such a nuanced exchange between creatives participating and observing. Provence is, of course, a very recognized hub for visual arts, so it is wonderful to watch the links made among so many talented women who might not otherwise have met each other. 

 

 

Next, a few of us were fortunate to celebrate our fearless leader’s birthday, Rebecca Ronane. Many happy returns, Rebecca, and gratitude for bringing this group to fruition! 

Last week, we were back at Cafe de La Gare with some new members for an excellent presentation by Raina about Mindfulness in Photography. If you get an opportunity to take one of Raina’s workshops, it is a brilliant way to learn photography tips and new ways to connect with all five senses to the world we make pictures of. 

Afterwards, we all went along to Maison Victoire for the April midi sage event for Aurelie Rocher(sculpture) and Hans Silvestre (photographer), where we were able to view more amazing art and share a social moment with other NP members as well as meet new friends. It’s admirable how Network Provence member and Maison Victoire founder Victoria Templeman uses her space to promote arts and culture in the Luberon and create a convivial meeting point for many of her customers and acquaintances. We are fortunate to be able to gather and share such a powerful feeling of community. 

What exciting opportunities lie ahead for Network Provence? Keep an eye on your newsletters and social pages, as both May and June are packed with events that you won’t want to miss. Check out the events list HERE. 

Furthermore, if you are a member of Network Provence, remember to use the Facebook group to let people know what you are up to regarding businesses, projects, art expositions, and more. Over 1,000 readers will see your posts, so get the most out of being a member! The whole point of networking is to promote yourself alongside like-minded creatives and professionals, to make connections, and to find collaborative outlets. 

I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
