Art, Joy, and New Beginnings
Hello Dear Friends,
September always feels like a fresh start – new energy, new projects, and a chance to gather together after summer. I’m so excited to share what’s happening this month and invite you to join me at exhibitions, viewings, and events full of art, community, and celebration.

🌟 A New Season, A New Year 🌟
I'm looking forward to welcoming you in my art studio!
As the Jewish New Year begins, I wish you happiness, health, and light. Leonard Cohen said: “There’s a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in.”
As autumn arrives and days grow shorter, may we all hold onto the promise of light returning. In the meantime, soak up the last of the summer sun (and Vitamin D!).
Looking forward to seeing you at one of my art events – or drop me a message to arrange a studio visit!
With warmth and creativity,
Michelle Baharier
