Charlotte Gouny

Charlotte Gouny conveys her French heritage through her delicately crafted hand-embroideries. Enthralled by the beauty of 18th century paintings and catholic imagery, she interprets history through a feminine point of view.

As an eternal romantic, she finds precious inspiration in authors like Dostoevsky who wrote”Beauty will save the world”. In this quote ”beauty” is what inspires the best in us, our aspirations for what is good and true, and what connects us to each other. This quote particularly resonates with me, as I have always been fascinated by beauty and its impact on us. In a world where everything can be beautiful, I am particularly interested in conveying classical beauty found in old paintings as well as in churches. A timeless beauty which transcends the soul.
