Imagine Nation Artist in Residence

Cosy corner Welcome to this work nook that’s a blend of curiosities and an inspiring art studio

"I’m a bit of a hoarder, and I love to surround myself with reminders of what I love"

I finally set up a real work office at home three years ago. Even though I’ve been working as an artist professionally since 2007, I’ve never had the luxury of owning a whole room destined to be an art studio.

I live in Switzerland, a very expensive country where housing is pricy. All those years in previous apartments, I was either working on a desk in a bedroom, a table in a living room, sometimes in a kitchen, or squatting a friend’s art studio. I even did a few storyboard pages in a bathtub! Finally having my own dedicated space was a real level up and it did wonders for my persistent imposter syndrome. It’s also useful to be able to lock the place before the kids barge in and decide to scribble across any sheet of paper they can find – including my art of course – with their chocolate spreadcovered fingers!
