What Do You Do at Crafted Vancouver?
I am learning a lot about the craft scene in Vancouver! I am the administrative support manager for Crafted Vancouver and I created the Crafted Vancouver on-line Library including a collection of more than 200 books related to craft. A very inspiring project. I also represent woodworking on the Crafted Advisory Team.
Describe Your Artistic Practice
I studied Engineering in France and worked as a project manager for construction and retail for almost 10 years before taking a sabbatical and coming to BC. In 2016, I started my apprenticeship in cabinetmaking at the renowned Inside Passage School of Fine Cabinetmaking. I continue to promote the work of artisans, especially fine cabinetmakers.
My favourite beach:
Cap Blanc-Nez and Cap Gris-Nez, North of France... Long and wide beaches with a lot of wind & Edmond's Beach, Roberts Creek
Best live performance I've seen:
Recently, Circus Arlette Gruss in France, with my Mum and my niece. A wonderful performance with extremely generous, passionate and professional artists ...The beauty of the show made me cry.
My motto is:
Small steps.
