As a child I love drawing. I draw few Walt Disney characters with colouring pencils. And then I studied agriculture and here I am an organic permaculture farmer. From France, I live in New Zealand since almost 2 years.
Drawing, painting is teasing me a lot since a few years now. But I never really got into it again. Always had excuses or other priories I guess, just because I couldn’t put on paper what I had in my head or never satisfied with what I tried to do or don’t know where to start.
And then I discovered sketchnoting ! I slowly try to integrate it at work and in my daily life. If I slowly get the hang of lettering I am still blocked on drawing... that’s why I decided to get some help and face it! Because I really want to practice every day if possible. I also more recently discovered water colour. I love the patterns of colours that make the water and the fluidity of it.

My project is to create a note/sketch book for my parents. The idea is to draw, write, paint what happen in my life to share it with them on the other side of the world. Because for me the social media can’t do that or won’t have the same meaning.
