Artist's Statement: I’m a French ceramic artist since 15 years. I’m a member of the Craft Council of Ireland since 2008 and now I expose and sell my creations in The Donegal Craft Village in Ireland since July 2012. The Enchanted Earth is the result of a combination of a passion for clay and for the world of the Celts, as the symbols I engrave on my pottery come from Celtic art as well as the imagery of the Arthurian legend.

This vase is for me the timeless quest for the Holy Grail. A woman or Goddess has the Holy Grail in
his hands, framed by the tree of life with its roots and flowering roots, still in the recall of two
interlaced handles of the vase.
