Collection: Mathilda Mai

Folk AF

I’m a self-taught painter, celebrating nature, story telling, colour and joy!
Born in the French countryside, I draw inspiration from the natural world and all its creatures, as well as the small human moments of love.
Coming from a strong family of women artists, I grew up surrounded by creativity and have never known life without art or imagination. 
My love of vintage clothing, shaped by five years running my own vintage shop, often appears in my paintings through characters dressed in patterned shirts, prairie dresses and boots!
I paint listening to folky, fuzzy 70s music or long audiobooks, which leads to me creating playful, sunlit compositions with a touch of nostalgia.
Painting brings me a sense of calm and peace from a busy mind, a feeling I hope to pass on through my work.

Fun Fact - I have an unnecessarily large collection of cowboy boots
