Art and Sea in Provence is the crossroad of two passions, Mayke's lifelong devotion to her art and JP's passion for the sea. This blog is the story of our return to this endearing part of the Mediterranean coast where hidden away in our mountain hamlet we meld our dreams. For those interested in either of our passions the links below will lead you to Mayke's visual art website Atelier Camp de la Suyere. You can start by visiting About Me or go to ART and visit my on-line galleries CampSuyere-22k or JP's new challenge: the Greening of Sean Seamour III The GreenBoat / BateauVert Adventure is an effort to monitor, analyze and implement new and emerging technologies important to bettering our environment, and to help mariners and sailors who aspire to go green choose and implement the appropriate solutions. Our website under construction is designed to be both a reference base and window through which relate our trials and tribulations. logocarte_squared
