Islands is a serie about the journey. Inspired by the sea and life, this collection evoke the wild wind and power of the waves, the ever-changing light and shifting shadows.

It’s about discovering the ever-present movement of nature.

There is magic and hidden beauty in this serie. These intimate pieces offers an intentional moment of reflection. They are meant to be little treasures for caring hands.

Each piece is a unique concentrate to be placed in a special place so that each time you look at it, you find an echo of wild freedom. A desire to push boundaries and embrace your freedom. Marine abstractions, soft textures and bluish washes.

I have a personal memory when I went to Ireland after dreaming about it for a long time and I was very impressed by its mysterious beat. The Arran Islands remain a very strong memory of grandeur and majesty.

« Sanday » is Grace. When the beauty of the inks, the texture of the gesso and the strokes of the pencil meet, the idea of a landscape is born that fits into the hand. Nothing more, nothing less.
