Can you introduce yourself in a few sentences?

I’m a Paris based Fine Art Specialist, Storyteller, and the founder of an international art platform. At heart, I am, and always will be, an artist first and foremost.

What do you do for work?

I run Studio Veive, a dynamic online art platform built to champion artists, foster collaboration, and reimagine contemporary art in a way that feels exciting, inclusive, and approachable.

How did you get to where you are today?

I’ve always had one driving force: my pure, genuine, and sincere love for art. That has never dwindled nor failed me.

I was having Chinese takeout with a friend a few days ago and my fortune cookie read “A good plan for today is better than a perfect plan for tomorrow” and that philosophy has always guided me. The idea of letting go of fear and starting, even when you’re uncertain has been so important to me. It really is as simple as making a start. The rest will follow, it always does.

What does living a good life mean to you?

I’m a romantic. I always will be. I think a good life is allowing oneself the pleasure to lean into that. Whether it’s being moved to tears by a painting, admiring the sunlight dance on the water or enjoying a glass of wine with a friend. I never want to stop falling in love with life & noticing the small moments.That’s why I have a passion for storytelling and connecting people with Art. I adore that moment when I see someone fall in love with an artwork.

And what was the last artwork you fell in love with?

I recently visited Vienna and had the pleasure of seeing The Kiss by Klimt. I’d waited years to see the work in person, and it exceeded my expectations. I teared up the second I laid eyes on it. It felt like pure magic. Sheer, luminous beauty, it was mesmerizing. My heart swells when I think back to it.

What’s something you wish you’d known 5 years ago?

Creativity isn’t linear, but it requires showing up every day, big or small. You have to build a life that fuels your creativity. Dream big!!! Don't be limited by the belief that you have to set “realistic” goals, follow your passion.

Finally, give us a hotspot in your city, or a city you love!

Anywhere in the 11eme in Paris! There are so many amazing natural wine bars and restaurants. On Friday’s you’ll likely catch me at Loustic!
