The age of 50 marked a personal and professional turning point for her; she turned her illness into an opportunity, seeing it as a providential message to reconnect with herself and finally do what inspires and nourishes her, breaking the vicious cycle that society and others sought to impose on her.
Her new home in the Bresse region of Burgundy, surrounded by nature and filled with animals, brings her the peace and serenity she needs.
She paints when life allows her the time, when she craves fresh air so much she feels she might suffocate in a rather turbulent life, in a world that does not suit her.

At last comes the time for reconstruction and creation.

Stepping out of his cave will require a huge effort on his part, but his current desire to put himself out there beyond the circle of family and friends is opening the door; to experience the magic of sharing, of striking a chord with those who will look at his canvas and be immersed in it.
No longer just seeing the reflections of light, stepping out of the shadows and becoming a beacon of light.
