  • Description

    Description

    I am an artist (painter), art therapist and Alexander's Technique teacher. After finishing my doctorate degree in Fine Arts I fell in love with the Permaculture and Agroecology principles and took 3 years off to live in a farm and learn/ practice these principles.
    Now that I have my own land I need help to work the land and to finish the house.

    The idea is to have a place that intertwines land working and art working in the future.
