Our little loft is featured on Apartment Therapy :)
We moved here 6 months ago. It is a stimulating and inspiring place. The light is abundant throughout the day and I've got all I need at hand to paint at any time. We can relax as much as concentrate for work.
It's a functional and fun place to live. It's a frame for life.
Here is a link to the tour by Sylvie Lie
I was invited by the very talented painter Julie Marriott to participate to her amazing podcast Make Share grow

It is very difficult to find the time in our very busy lives to paint, write and explore. My intention with this blog post is to give you a few tips and tricks to ease the process.
I am sure you already have one in your space. Find a nice box or a nice tote to organize your creative tools.
Here are a few examples;
Painting tote: I placed in this bag (see image below): Watercolor, a watercolor sketchbook, pencils, brushes, a container for water and a little piece of cotton. Whenever I feel like painting, I just get everything out and place everything back in when I am done. I could also leave the house with it and paint outside :)
Creative box: A pencil, a notebook, some inspiring magazines, glue and scissors. A perfect way to write more, take notes about creative ideas, glue different images and get creative!
Do not store your box or tote somewhere you will not use it. Leave it close to your favorite place to create.
If you don’t have a space that you like, try to create one. A cozy little corner in your home where you could add a table and a chair to motivate you even more.
Here are a few inspiring creative nooks;
Set an alarm to make sure you don't forget. I think it helps to create a block in your agenda dedicated to a creative project. Or else you might never take the time.
I hope this is helpful !

Cette série est largement inspirée des fleurs, de leur mouvement, textures et lignes. J’ai analysé ce qu’elles représentent pour moi et tenté de représenter sur papier les émotions que j’ai face à la nature et son incroyable beauté.
This series is largely inspired by flowers, their movement, textures and lines. I analyzed what they represent for me and tried to represent on paper these emotions.
Le livre “Fleurs des champs du Québec et des Maritimes” par Sylvain Parent m’a donné envie d’observer et de documenter les fleurs sauvages de notre province. On les croise à chaque jour sans nécessairement prendre le temps de remarquer leur beauté. J’ai commencé à les regarder plus en profondeur et à trouver des spécimens incroyables, sur le bord d’une route, d’une voie ferrée ou dans le fossé. Un monde insoupçonné de formes et de couleurs éblouissantes. Elles m’ont inspiré pour cette nouvelle série.
The book "Field Flowers of Quebec and the Maritimes" by Sylvain Parent made me want to observe and document the wildflowers of our province. We meet them every day without necessarily taking the time to notice their beauty. I started to look deeper and find incredible specimens. An unsuspected world of dazzling shapes and colors. They inspired me for this new series.
