The word embellie is French for embellished, detailed. This is the work of Embellie Designs: it is fine-tuned to the last detail to accurately portray the true beauty that we can all find in nature.
"I find nature relaxing and inspiring. It is an organic de-stressing release that exists all around us."- CPB
Bienvenue!
My name is Catherine and I am happy that you stopped by. I am currently living with my family in the Belmont area, in Massachussetts. We are enjoying a busy life with our mini-zoo: Lettuce (our dwarf bunny), Vivace (our bright blue parakeet), and Wendy and Lisa (our two mixed-chihuahua girls).
Growing up in the South of France, I always loved the harsh colors brought to life by the Mediterrannean sun. The sky seems a deeper blue, the lavender and wild herbs more fragrant, the heat calming and the flowers more vibrant.
I moved to the US 25 years ago and fell in love with the West-Coast landscapes and the South-West colors which reminded me of my native country.
Painting enables me to slow down and appreciate the beautiful details given to us by nature. It brings me joy portraying the delicate petals and fragile structures of flowers. My paintbrush loves capturing the way the light reflects on various textures and I am excited to share nature's fleeting moments with you.
