Thanks to Pierre's restaurant and to the success of the first month, I'm glad that my show "Organic Life" continues for another month until October 27.
There are some great pieces still exhibited. If any of you are stopping by, let me know, I'd love to hear your feedback.
And thanks again to the first month visitors, and of course to the private collectors who believed in me!
I am proud and honored that Brigitte Macron, France's first lady, has welcomed with pleasure one of my paintings. She was present in New York with her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron, for UN General Assembly week, and they both met with the French community last night.
This painting is called 'Grace' and it symbolizes the grace that each woman has inside and outside of her. It is made out of ink and gold paint, materials that I love to use and that I have been using partly in my current exhibit 'Organic Life'.
Wishing her the best in the immense task ahead of her and the President.
Thank you, Madame!
I am pleased to present 23 of my new artworks during the month of September at Pierre's, the famous Bridgehampton restaurant. I will share some previews here and on Instagram over the coming days and weeks.
I hope to see you at the opening Saturday September 9 from 3 to 6pm!

Last weekend, I had a great time organizing and supervising an awesome art workshop at The Computer School, 77th St. and Columbus Avenue, in Manhattan.
Dozens of passionate "young artists" kids showed up and created their own mural and postcards canvas that will all be exhibited on the walls of the school.
I feel blessed and boosted by the support I received from friends and fellow artists over the past few months, and I want to share two very moving and recent examples:
Gabrielle HB-Abada, curator specialized in French contemporary art, has published a very moving article in the Courrier de Floride about recognition and how to be a woman artist. She cited me among very accomplished and famous other artists and used words beyond expectations. Merci Gabrielle, you are a wonderful herald for us.

Sally O’Dowd, multimedia content production and marketing, magazine self-publisher and poet, recently published a series of poems on Medium.com and used one of my watercolors to illustrate her poem Dancing to Fleetwood Mac on Vinyl. Thank you Sally, wishing you the best.

Last but not least, like in 2016, I will participate from January 13 to 15, in the show Postcards from the Edge, to support HIV+ artists. The organization Visual AIDS has featured me on top of their list, so I hope my postcard will be sold to benefit this noble cause. If you are nearby Chelsea next week, come and have a look, it is a great and affordable show!
My friend and great entrepreneur Catherine Barba is having a great event tomorrow: 500 people will attend the Women in Innovation Forum (#WinForumNY) in the AXA Auditorium Midtown, and I've been invited to show 8 of my art pieces there.
I am honored to be sharing what inspired me over the last few months, especially the "Flower Lady" series.
If some of you are attending the forum, let me know!
Here are some photos of the set-up day:
If you are around Upper West Side this week, stop by West End Health & Fitness: you will be welcomed by a great staff, including Vito and Ashley, and they have great incentive for members or members to be.
Moreover, they've been kind enough to lend their walls to some of my art pieces. So come and check it out!
My work is very much inspired by women from all horizons, and I am glad to pay them a tribute through my paintings and watercolors.
Come and see a selection of paintings from the Art Students League artists. There will be drinks and snacks for everybody, and the entrance is free.
From 5:30 to 8pm on Thursday Feb. 11, I'll be glad to welcome you in the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery and talk about art around a glass of wine. Let me know if you are coming!
If you are around NYC this weekend, come and visit Sikkema & Jenkins gallery (530 W 22th St.) at the 'Postcards From the Edge' exhibit.
Well, they didn't spell the name correctly, but it's nice to be featured on top of the list :)
Let me know if you intend to come!
Come and see my postcard at the 18th annual Postcards from the Edge exhibition.
Known within the art world as the most exciting and affordable way to add to a collection, Postcards From the Edge offers you a unique opportunity to acquire original, postcard-sized artwork for less than a round of cocktails. And you will be able to walk away with something beautiful, a piece of art you love.
I will be presenting this postcard and will be honored to see you there. If you like it, you will be able to buy it there.
Check out articles from international media France 24, Lebanese press YaLibnan and Grenville Cheng about Best of France and Louisa L.'s participation.
Louisa L. was invited to show her paintings in the art space of Best of France, the world's largest event ever dedicated to France, on Times Square.
With other French artists, Louisa L. has been in contact with the public visiting the outdoor event during a whole weekend. President Hollande and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius from France were amongst the dignitaries to pay a visit and acknowledge France's multiple talents.
Louisa L.'s selection of watercolors were also displayed in the Roche Bobois VIP lounge in front of the fashion show runway, dragging thousands of people every day.
Two ministers and one Consul: no less on the podium of French Consulate to launch the 'French Tech Hub' during La French Touch Conference.
And just behind Minister Macron, Louisa L.'s painting, created for the occasion and offered to the French Consul Bertrand Lortholary.
"This is my contribution to the dynamic French entrepreneur community in New York, the city that recently adopted me", said Louisa L.
The event has been featured in the weekly French magazine Challenges.
