This series of abstract paintings was born as a collaboration with Restaurant Le Petit Léon in Saint Léon-sur-Vézère just as the river was flooding right up to the steps of town hall.
The inspiration comes from the Vézère itself, from the many states of water—frost, mist, rain, clouds, and more—and all that the river makes possible. Flooding makes for rich, dark soil that feeds our forests, fields, and vineyards. It nourishes the unique agriculture and cuisine that has sustained the people—the artists, innovators, and growers—who have lived here for so long.
I hope these paintings will nourish you as well.
