Softness, romanticism and poetry are part of my natural universe of simple joy and wool.

My Story
Growing up in an artistic atmosphere, my three sisters and I made art for fun to discover ourselves. With time, we became a painter, a musician, and a jeweler. It must be said that our parents have always supported us in our artistic journey, and today I am very grateful to them.
Then quickly came the period of college where I studied theater and fine arts. I discovered a passion for hand sewing and sculpture.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, I was 21 years old and already flying to Asia. The journey took me to India where I discovered a new way of thinking. Now addicted to travel, I found myself drawn to the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and beyond. I loved to explore and immerse myself in new cultures and nature. I discovered art in each of these countries, which inspired me a little more every day. I realized that I wanted to pursue an artistic career, but I still couldn't figure out what my art was.

In 2018, after the birth of my second child: an artistic revelation took place in me. I knew it now: I needed art to live. By dint of testing and manipulating various materials... It's love at first sight! I have a passion for jewelry and wool felting. I learned about needle felting and wet felting by myself and with a few fellow wool artist.
I experiment techniques for almost four years and discovered what thrilled me the most: creation linked to nature. With my two expert hands, I create my little wool garden, an ode to natural beauty.
So. You now know my story… Between nature, beauty and authenticity, I want to help women feel beautiful wearing nature.

Why?
I make jewelry representing nature with natural fibers because I believe that wearing nature reminds us of its beauty and the reasons to protect it. Also, because handmade objects help to preserve ancestral hand made techniques for future generations.
The 5 most important values for me
-
Co-creation: "We can all grow if we create together." My vision? I wholeheartedly encourage fiber artists and promote the wearing of natural fibers. I also love to create with other artisan to learn and create together. I have a real fascination with collaboration, seeing art emerge and intertwine in new creative ideas excites me.
-
Nature is my value par excellence because it is essential to find solutions together for the future of our home. I question every decision of my company to be as ecological as possible, for example, by choosing ecological boxes or local wool from my dear Quebec.
-
Natural beauty. My universe is surrounded by sweetness, calm, and joy. I share my love for the simple life by making women feel beautiful and confident. By using wool, I challenge the world of fashion and jewelry, breaking entrenched codes. "Yes, you can choose nature on a daily basis when you want to feel pretty."
-
Education. I strongly believe that learning emerges when we take the time to share with others. I want to pass on what I have studied and give value back to the next generation of artists, especially women. I wish with all my heart that this know-how will continue. We can all grow if we share our discoveries together.
-
Respect and well-being. I encourage respect, transparency, well-being, and positive communication in each of my interactions, both with my partners and clients. Communicate positively!
