I've always been drawn to the arts. I began painting as a child and later attended art school where I honed my skills in sculpture and pottery. It wasn't until I moved to Paris that I truly found my voice as an artist, however. The city has always been a source of inspiration for me, from the way the light reflects off the Seine to the vibrant colors of the street performers. My work often focuses on capturing the beauty and elegance of everyday life, with a touch of whimsy and humor. I've had several exhibitions in Paris over the years, but it's always thrilling to be back home creating new pieces inspired by this wonderful city.

My partner, Emily, has been instrumental in my career as an artist. She's not only my biggest supporter but also a talented writer who helps me with my marketing and branding. We met on the streets of Paris at an art fair where I was showcasing my latest sculpture. It was love at first sight! Now we split our time between Paris and New York, where Emily is from.

As for hobbies, I'm a bit of a foodie and love experimenting in the kitchen. I've even written several cookbooks that combine French cuisine with international flavors. Cooking has always been a way for me to relax and express my creativity outside of painting. But let's be real – my true passion is painting! There's nothing quite like getting lost in the studio, surrounded by canvases and brushes, with Emily cheering me on from
