The association benefited from a very favorable year 2024* — which consequently kept me quite far from the brushes and my research at the Atelier which is also my "happy place"!

I chose to share his greeting card with you because the two activities interact and enrich each other deeply.
It is difficult for me to separate them, and impossible to choose one over the other... I realized that it was ultimately not necessary, because what emerges is a very special "co-inspiration".
ELOVUTION gives me direct access to the poetry and spirituality of the world, especially the Himalayas, and offers me direct contact with the pure joy of children, with Nature and with the hearts of Living Beings.
All this inhabits the Atelier at night, during the day... all year round.
For its part, THE STUDIO encourages ELOVUTION since at least 20% of sales are donated to benefit the association's actions.
As a painter, the attentive link maintained with the creative process and its mysteries allows me to be particularly present to what appears in children's drawings, and therefore to be more accurate in my support as an art therapist.
Both commitments, supported by the practice of meditation, combine “Compassion in Action” in a complementary way.
Tsuki, the little guardian of the studio is right:
In 2025, we will definitely spend more time in this magical place!
There are several canvas projects in progress that I will tell you about soon... like a new large format thangka, another plea for Nature, an expression of Ratna, one of the families of Buddha (as a follow-up to Padma: https://www.carolinemaby.art/product-page/padma )

But also, I have just been asked to set up a new support and training program for art therapy in Tibetan lands.
Not in Arunachal Pradesh. Elsewhere in the Himalayan range, it starts with an L..., at 4000 meters; I'll tell you all about it soon. ;-)
The intervention schedule is very close... I am expected in May 2025! It is short and if I cannot raise the funds in time, it will be postponed to May 2026.
