Oh, Paris!

Layers of Light, History, and Ink

Paris greeted us with soft gray skies and the shimmer of morning on the Seine. From the first breath of croissant-laced air, we knew we had stepped into a dream. Each arrondissement had its own rhythm, its own palette—and we chased them all with hungry eyes and open hearts.

We journaled in sun-dappled cafés, on park benches tucked beneath chestnut trees, and in studios where the ghosts of artists seemed to linger in the walls. With vintage metro tickets, fragments of French newspapers, and old botanical prints from flea market stalls, we created visual stories that danced with memory and meaning.

The city gifted us beauty at every turn: a forgotten doorway blooming with ivy, the hush of Notre Dame’s shadow, the bold streak of graffiti beside an ornate balustrade. These contrasts fed our art—the raw and refined, the ancient and everyday.

But more than the sights, it was the togetherness that defined our time. We shared paint, stories, and quiet moments of awe. We let go of perfection and let intuition lead. We walked arm in arm at twilight, journals pressed to our chests, knowing we were carrying more than pages—we were carrying Paris itself. Our Paris, a different experience for each of us.

There, in the heart of the city that has long embraced the artist’s soul, we found a kind of magic only possible when art, place, and sisterhood intertwine.
