Hello, I'm Aurélie—a French artist based in sunny Los Angeles, California.
My name is old-fashioned and wasn't common when I was born. It's pronounced oh-ray-lee with an emphasis on the last syllable—I promise it's not as intimidating as it looks. Thank you for trying!
I'm a self-taught fine artist who paints nearly every day with my favorite medium: gouache and also exploring watercolor or gold leafing to keep my style fresh and diverse. In 2023, I completed the 100 Day Project, creating one painting daily for 100 consecutive days. This practice allowed me to explore diverse subjects—people, flowers, animals, and still life—while discovering my signature style and learning a medium (gouache) in depth.
I'm known for my quirky charm, loose brushstrokes, bold colors, and unexpected color combinations. Creating brings me immense joy, and I strive to share that passion and happiness with my collectors.
A bit more about myself: I was raised in the Norman countryside of France, where I learned about food, nature, and the simple and rich life. I grew up surrounded by gardens, wild nature, horses, sheep, chickens, dogs, and a loving family. As my artistic journey evolves, I realize how deeply my childhood influences my work today. There's something about revisiting old photographs and familiar subjects, and transforming them into naive, contemporary paintings that feels increasingly meaningful to me.
In 2024, I officially launched my business—and the rest is history. You can find my work online and at carefully curated markets throughout Los Angeles. I offer original paintings, fine art prints, silk scarves, and seasonal collections like hand-painted ornaments, calendars, and pouches.
Follow me on social media or subscribe to my newsletter to stay connected with my latest offerings and artistic evolution. My subscribers get first dibs on original paintings or any new product!
When I'm not creating or running my business, I love spending time around a nice meal with family and friends, traveling, or exploring the beautiful gardens scattered across Los Angeles. I embrace simplicity and creativity in equal measure.
Thank you for stopping by—I'd love to get to know you too! While selling my art is a significant part of my business, I'm also open to commissions and collaborations/licensing opportunities.

Los Angeles Times Plants Collaboration
During April 2023, I had the chance to partner with the Los Angeles Times Plants for their Wallpaper Wednesday Series. Over the course of four weeks, subscribers had the privilege of capturing snapshots of my illustrations to adorn their phone wallpapers. To pay tribute to California and the abundant rainfall we experienced in the winter of 2023, I crafted four patterns inspired by the breathtaking Superbloom. This natural phenomenon transforms the hills and yards across the state into captivating works of art, showcasing the vibrant hues of poppies and other native flowers.
