Southwest France is where I make my home with my husband and dog. After 25 years living and working in Camden, north London, we decided it was time to make a change; life there was becoming more expensive and stressful, and less enjoyable. We were looking for a better life/work balance and a way we could both have time to do the things we thought were important. So we moved from an apartment there to a house in a village in France. I have always loved France; we made a few trips here before choosing the southwest, and the Charente area in particular. It is beautiful and relatively unknown. We have been settled in a little village of twelve houses for 14 years and we love it! I love the landscape with the lines of the vines going off in all directions. I take the dog for a walk every day and never tire of the scenery. Walking her gets me out of the studio and if I’m stuck on a piece, or frustrated with how a collection is going, it clears my mind wonderfully.
