My latest was 3 years old and so much has changed in 3 years, so it was time to write another one!
Hello, hello!
My name is Margot, I'm a French watercolour artist and pattern designer based in Nancy, France!
I've had a few lives already, and I think it's great. I studied bookbinding in Paris in my youth and worked over a decade in London, UK, in that wonderful world. I miss it. But once a bookbinder, always a bookbinder.
After my wonderful years in London I then moved to Stockholm, Sweden, where I did a mix of bookbinding and waitressing.
Then COVID hit and I developed my painting and designing style, in order to keep my sanity.
I am now back in France, sharing my time between my art practice, my part time job as a welder assistant for the sculptor Jean-No and when I have time, I help my parents to renovate appartements.
I am about to start theatre again, after 20 years, and I am as excited as I am scared.
My love of travel is what inspired me to draw. All the azulejos from Lisbon and Seville, the Moorish art from Morocco. The beauty in repetion. The colours.
I enjoy sharing my tricks and "trade secrets" because I am of the opinion that more art = better world. So if you have any question, I'll always be happy to answer. In English, or in French.
Life in the art world is a weird one. Full of excitement and hopes, but also disappointments. I got told so many times that I must be very patient in order to do what I do. But I came to the realisation that I am not patient (oh no), I am just determined.
And that's it for today!
