Valérie's illuminations capture the creativity of medieval artists: it's painstaking work with incredibly rich and delicate designs; a gateway to an internal path...
The artist uses "traditional" methods to work on natural or dyed parchment with pigments and gold leaf.
The parchment comes from sheep, calf or goatskin and the colours come from plant, animal or mineral pigments blended with a binder made just like in medieval times.
Good to know !
Have a go at illuminations in bespoke one-to-one lessons: spend a full day or half-day creating your own designs...
You can meet the artist at artisan markets, exhibitions and art galleries. She gives pottery her creative touch too: sculptures in red or white sandstone and clay.
