A New Life In France…or not!
If you have been following me for a while you may know that in 2020 we sold up and moved to France with plans of renovating an old boarding house and chalet. We got quite far with the chalet renovation but 2 years in we ran out of steam and got very homesick and decided to return to the UK (head over to my blog if you’d like to know more about our little French adventure).. We sold the chalet and We are now happily established back in the UK. however we still have the main house in France.
It’s taken a while to work out our vision for Villa Anne-Marie but it is clear now. We would like to create a showcase for our art. A house where each room is immersed in paintings, wallpapers, hand painted furniture, screens and decorative features. The end goal is to open it up for art residencies, retreats, an inspiring art filled space for artists, writers and creatives to meet and share ideas.
This is a pretty big undertaking considering we no longer live at the house but back in the UK So we are in the process of raising funds to make this dream a reality. If you would like to donate towards this cause you can do so here:
I’ve also started a new instagram account for the Art Residency. You can follow by clicking the below Instagram icon.
