Where we go - Gang Of Witches - Living and creating in Nature

The Coven is the sanctuary of Gang Of Witches, it is inhabited and managed by the artists of the gang. We left the Parisian frenzy to live and work in nature.

Nestled in the heart of a pine forest in the Mediterranean, The Coven* is a total artistic experience and a sustainable place**. This “artivist” laboratory regularly opens its doors to artists in residence. Thus, little by little, the place is populated with in situ works and a permanent collection of our works and those of artists with whom we collaborate.

*Coven: Group, assembly of witches.
**We produce more than half of our food through permaculture; all our energy is solar; we aim for 0 waste; we compost; we recover rainwater and recycle grey water.

Sunny Buick is a Francophile American painter and tattoo artist. She has been living in Paris for many years and expresses her creative universe on canvas, paper or under the skin. Behind naive and sweet appearances, with a constant and keen sense for details, composition and symbols, Sunny explores fairground arts, tiki culture, milagros, pinups and monsters of any kind which question our society about subjects that deal with feminism, ancestral rituals, and more recently, international politics. She is a cofounder of the gang.
