Joie de vivre: Etymology: French, literally, joy of living
Nathalie Lete is a French artist who lives and works in Paris. Mixing different techniques and mediums she has embraced illustration, ceramics, jewelry making, painting and rug design. Looking at her studio, and the vintage toys she refers to as 'the heroes of her work', it's easy to recognize her wry humor and flamboyant use of color. Appreciating crafts as much as fine art, it is especially inspiring for me to see an artist that has been successful in so many different mediums, whose work is always distinctly personal.
There's no other way to describe my feeling for that octopus rug...it's LOVE.
