Description
I am an art gallerist and art agent specialized in abstract painting, figurative sculpture and photography.
I bought that house in Vabre thirteen years ago and I am in the process of re-decorating it.
The work is sometimes hard for my age ! that is why I offer an opportunity to Workaway travellers
who can work with their hands (not at a professional level of course), one week or two weeks only if agreed by both parties.
I am still involved in art activities : organizing art shows.
The population of the village (800 people) is mixed : villagers and retired urban people as well as foreigners of various nationalities.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As an art gallerist, there are always opportunities for an impromptu show.
I also take Workaway travellers around to places of interest
(old monuments, natural sites...) once a week.
