Living a nomadic artist life...

This year has been a big adventure! Before settling in Cairns for my artist residency, I spent months living on the road and exploring Australia, starting from Tasmania. It was exciting, but not always easy for my art.

Without a real studio, I had to adapt. I used graphite most of the time because watercolor was too hard to manage.
My "studio" changed every day: a camping table with mosquitoes as a company, or a quiet spot in public libraries with free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
I often felt frustrated, seeing so many beautiful things I wanted to draw or paint but couldn’t because it was too complicated.

Arriving in Cairns changed everything. During my residency, I finally had a calm and quiet space to focus on my art. It made me realize how important a good workspace can be.

Here is a glimpse of my improvised "studio" and a little behind-the-scenes of my journey.
❓ Have you ever had to adapt your passion to a nomadic lifestyle?

Extrait d'une vie d'artiste nomade...

Cette année a été une vraie aventure ! Avant de m’installer à Cairns pour ma résidence, j’ai passé plusieurs mois sur la route en Australie, en commençant par la Tasmanie . C’était passionnant, mais il n'a pas été simple de jongler entre l'aventure et continuer une pratique artistique.

J’ai donc décidé de me concentrer sur du graphite et encre, car l’aquarelle était trop compliquée à gérer. J’ai improvisé des "bureaux" : notre table de camping accompagnée de fidèles compagnons moustiques, ou mieux les bibliothèques avec clim et Wi-Fi.
Mais, il faut l'avouer, j’ai aussi souvent été très frustrée de ne pas pouvoir dessiner ou peindre tout ce que je voyais en route.

Arriver à Cairns a été un vrai soulagement. Pendant ma résidence artistique, j’ai enfin pu me poser et retrouver un espace calme pour créer.

Looking back at my art residency in Cairns, where the beautiful Botanic Gardens inspired me to create scenes featuring insects, birds and plants.

This was my first-ever solo exhibition, and what an incredible experience it was!

I loved sharing my passion and knowledge during workshops too.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported me along the way 😊

🕊️ Work in Progress: Drawing the Male Sunbird

Now it is time to bring the star of the illustration to life: the male sunbird!

With his bright yellow underside and dark blue-violet chest patch, he is a stunning little bird.

I am focusing on the delicate details of his feathers and posture, using graphite and a stump for smooth shading and soft textures.
It is a process of capturing the energy and elegance of this tiny bird, as he hovers near the Jade Vine flower.

I am excited to continue bringing him closer to life in this piece!
