I was born in Paris and have always made an effort to blend my professional life with another more artistic lifestyle. As a student of theater, a calligrapher at heart and a traveler of endless curiosity, I abandoned Paris’ Place Vendome in 2002 for the chance discovery of Saint Barthelemy, a tiny island adrift in the rosary of the Caribbean isles.
I set out to stay on the island for only a few months, but here I am today, ten years later, as surprised as the next guy, working for local jewelry shops, sun-kissed, with sand forever upon my feet and the cool wind in my hair.
In my travels, I have always brought back little treasures gleaned here and there, tiny soulful bits, fabrics, historical objects, gris-gris, talismans and such, each one possessing its own story, worn by the sands of time.
