Meet Ana Masse

Published on by Rebecca Ronane
Hi, my name is Ana,
I am a silk artist based in Avignon.
After trying many forms of art, I fell in love with silk painting which became my “true art passion”. I create my scarves in a variety of styles so that everyone can find

what they are looking for. This also helps me create scarves that reflect the mood and character of those who wear them.

However, they all have one thing in common: vibrant colours.

My studio is located in beautiful Provence, France. Each hand-painted scarf is a one-of-a-kind, piece of wearable art.

My scarves are suitable for wearing as an accessory, or framed and displayed as art. The texture of the silk is soft, fluid, and luxurious to the touch. However, it does not forgive the slightest mistake. You must be very thorough, or you need to start everything from the beginning.

For my work, I always use high-quality materials: natural fabrics and professional dyes, resistant to washing and fading. This ensures that my work will please you for many years.
Let me help you spice up your outfits. Hand-painted silk scarves will make you stand out from the crowd, and you will be showered with compliments about your chic outfit.

IMG_0176Meet Carolyne Kauser-Abbott whose company  Edible Heritage Technologies she explains  is where I focus on freelance writing (Ginger and Nutmeg and Perfectly Provence ), e-commerce (Atelier) and social media consulting.

What has been your most satisfying moment in your business?

No question, being an entrepreneur can be lonely business. Those moments when I receive positive feedback from readers, contributors and strangers, are the times that I remember why I am doing the work in the first place.

What is your goal for this year?

My goal for 2015 was to launch my e-commerce website showcasing artisan creators. Atelier launched in November 2015 with a focus on Canadian Artisans (for now). As a result, my 2016 goal is to continue searching for quality artisans and featuring their handcrafted, traditional inspired products.

In 2016, my goal for Perfectly Provence is to continue featuring fabulous content writers who love Provence as much as I do.

Continuing to build my social media consulting practice.

Has Network Provence had any positive effects on your business ?

Definitely! I was not sure what to think the first blustery day that I drove to meet Rebecca and a group of women that I had never met before. In fact I thought what am I doing? Do I have time for this? However the moment that I was greeted by Rebecca, I realized that the benefits of a group, the chance for open discussion and the opportunity to meet new people are priceless. Network Provence has allowed me to listen to others, talk through ideas and expand my network of friends.
