Emilie, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Alright, so you had your idea and then what happened? Can you walk us through the story of how you went from just an idea to executing on the idea

In my Houston studio, I embark on a visionary journey, creating paintings that depict the future of societies amidst a powerful digital evolution. The idea bloomed from a desire to explore the potential of technology and its impact on humanity. As I brushed my thoughts onto canvas, I felt the essence of progress infusing every stroke. But I yearned to extend my art’s reach beyond the confines of physical mediums. Thus, I embraced the digital realm. From idea to execution, the path was woven with passion and persistence. Embracing technology, I transformed my physical art into digital prints and videos, sharing my vision of another dimensional world. Now, my art bridges the gap between the tangible and the virtual, inspiring a boundless digital evolution.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

As a multi-disciplinary visual artist with dual French and American heritage, my creative pursuits encompass paintings and animations that delve into the complexities of our ever-evolving societies. Through diligent research and keen observation, I strive to unravel the essence of functionality in our digital future, resulting in vibrant and mesmerizing artworks. Over the past two decades, I have undertaken numerous projects, approaching each with unwavering attention to detail, sensitivity to site-specific requirements, and a commitment to meeting deadlines. My versatility and proactive nature enable me to foresee and address potential challenges, ensuring the timely completion of every endeavor.
Collaborating regularly with galleries, art dealers, cultural spaces, and educational institutions, I have had the opportunity to showcase my unique vision to diverse audiences. At present, I am honored to be commissioned by the Houston Airport, where I am creating site-specific artworks that will enrich the airport environment.
In addition to my physical artworks, I have embarked on an exciting venture by launching a series of prints and objects available for purchase online. This exclusive line harmoniously blends the visual allure of my paintings with cutting-edge AI technology, resulting in a captivating fusion of art and innovation.
Through my artistic journey, I continue to embrace the exploration of the human experience, shedding light on the possibilities of tomorrow while cherishing the heritage of the past. My dedication to craft, genuine passion for creativity, and commitment to sharing art with the world fuel my artistic endeavors, making every project a unique and enriching experience for both myself and my audience.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Certainly, let me share a story that exemplifies my resilience and unwavering commitment to my ideas and uniqueness. During an art festival, I was given a unique opportunity to transform an abandoned fire station into an exhibition space for two days. The catch? The fire station had no electricity, and the condition of the building was far from ideal. While the challenges may have deterred some artists, I saw this as a chance to create something extraordinary.
Undeterred by the lack of conventional resources, I enthusiastically embraced the challenge. Drawing on my resourcefulness and versatility. With meticulous planning and attention to detail, I transformed the space into a mesmerizing art haven, making the most of the natural light during the day. To complement the unique setting, I curated an immersive experience, carefully considering the placement of my artworks to blend with the fire station’s architectural elements seamlessly.
Despite the challenges and time constraints, I never compromised on my artistic vision. I showcased the digital future through a colorful tapestry of art, embracing the uniqueness of the fire station and weaving it into the narrative of my creations. The result was an awe-inspiring exhibition that left an indelible impression on the festival attendees.
This transformative experience reinforced my belief in the power of resilience and the importance of staying true to my artistic identity. By refusing to surrender to limitations and instead leveraging creativity and ingenuity, I turned what could have been a hindrance into an unforgettable and extraordinary display of art.
Through my journey as a multi-disciplinary visual artist, I have encountered various obstacles and setbacks. However, I have never given up on my ideas and uniqueness. Instead, I have harnessed these challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation. This unwavering determination to create and share my vision has driven my success in collaborating with galleries, art dealers, cultural spaces, and educational institutions. It has also been the impetus behind my latest venture, the fusion of my paintings with AI, resulting in a line of captivating prints and objects available online.
My story is a testament to the power of resilience, the celebration of uniqueness, and the boundless potential that arises when one embraces challenges with creativity and perseverance. Through it all, I remain deeply committed to exploring the interplay between art and society, weaving intricate narratives that inspire, provoke thought, and leave an indelible mark on those who experience my work.

Engagement plays a crucial role in nurturing my audience. I actively respond to comments, participate in discussions, and support other artists’ work, creating a sense of community around my brand. Collaborations with influencers, art enthusiasts, and related brands further expands my reach.

Consistency is key. I establish a regular posting schedule, ensuring my content reaches followers at optimal times. I utilize relevant hashtags to increase discoverability and leverage analytics to identify content preferences.

To sustain interest, I offer exclusive sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and occasional giveaways, rewarding my loyal followers. I also leverage the power of stories and live streams to provide real-time engagement.
