How does one carve out their own creative path as an artist and also uphold a sixth generation family legacy? Well, one woman who has taught me this and shown me the way of balancing the past, \u00a0present, artistic vision<\/a> and family heritage<\/a> is Pauline-Croom Nadal.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Pauline was one of the first ladies I met when I moved to South France; \u00a0from the day I saw her and spoke with her she was impressive but in the most humble and playful way. One would never know she carries the weight of her families vineyard legacy on her shoulders, coupled with her own artistic endeavors; she embodies grace and strength. Now, I have been in South France for nearly three years and have been able to get to know her family \u2013 they opened their arms to me and even their ancient Sisters Chapel that is on the grounds; yes that\u2019s right they invited me to lead a New Year\u2019s Quartz Sound Bath Meditation<\/a> within the walls of stones that are nearly 1000 years old. It was one of the most significant feelings I have ever felt. The 115 hectares of land itself is just one of those places that transports you back to a simpler time; the trees are giants and feel as though they touch the sky; the hidden walkways bring you down paths that resonate with past lives; the lake and river that flow remind you how water is the essence of life and you can imagine the woman before filling their buckets. The animals roam the yard freely and without fear. Everything the Nadal\u2019s do is with so much care and respect for the earth; from their solar power, \u00a0to how Pauline\u2019s father still tends to every vine with his own hands. These are just some of the reasons why I felt it was important to share the valor that Pauline has and her family has carved out through generations.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

I\u2019m Pauline, born in the south of France. I grew up on my family\u2019s vineyard, where I spent most of my time\u00a0hiding and playing in the vines fields. I started my studies in fine arts in Paris then got into Central Saint Martins in London, where my entire universe beautifully collapsed! After 3 years of HARD work (I have to say that my English was extremely bad)… I passed my degree and I started to work in a ceramic\u00a0studio based in East London and also assisted one of the best set designers in London during fashion weeks. At this time, I was also working for my parents\u2019 winery on\u00a0the side. This is when I started travelling around to attend international wine trade shows, meeting clients and presenting our organic wines. I’m now a ceramic artist\/winemaker\/graphic designer, based in Perpignan, with my husband and 2 years old son.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Beauty hides in\u00a0light. <\/strong>Beauty\u00a0is, to me, revealed by light and can definitely be found in ordinary things.
