  • Description

    Hello there,
    i am an artist who grew up on a farm in France, I moved to England 10 years ago now. I love animals and have an understanding and respect for all things natural. I am also keen to learn about construction (and gardening) as I plan to build myself a place one day. I like getting my hands dirty and manual labour, love the idea of being self sustainable and i really like to cook also. Working together towards a goal and witnessing the progress brings me pleasure as well as just doing things for others. I love all forms of art especially painting, I am also passionate about music. I'm also interested in learning about different cultures and immersing myself in it. I'm not one to turn down new opportunities/ tasks/ adventures.

  • More details about your skills

    I am a traditional artist, and will most certainly bring my painting stuff with me as I'm always looking for new and dramatic landscapes to paint/draw.

    I can also use spray paint but my main passion is painting in oil and pencil drawing. I also LOVE music just as much as painting, I used to be in a band.

    I was brought up in Provence, France on a vineyard so I can speak french and have done many grape harvests which can be tough, but being part of a team and being surrounded by beautiful scenery makes it all worth it. There are horses and many dogs on the farm so I am used to caring for them.

    My first workaway experience was working on a farm animal sanctuary in the alps where i was in charge of 150 sheep.

    I can fly fish and love it, I have fished mostly in Scottish rivers where I've caught mainly trout and salmon. I know how to gut a fish and cook it.
    I've got a manual driving license. I am also a decent cyclist, runner and swimmer.

    I have very little interest in living in a city, I am a country boy who loves the outdoors and natural beauty, especially sunset/sunrise, have always been surrounded by dogs, I'm very happy getting my hands dirty and love learning new skills.

    Looking for an escape from the usual.

    I like making new connections with people and having meaningful and interesting conversations but am also happy painting all day alone with nature. I am friendly and i am easily pleased. I'm looking for new places, experiences, skills and people.
