A woman with curly hair, glasses, and a dark blouse is smiling and sitting in an art studio next to a table with a vase of pink, purple, and white flowers. Artworks, including paintings and sketches, are displayed on the walls and surfaces around her.

Grace Riggan is an artist who has made the Cevennes her home and studio since 2018.  She was an architect and artisan (woodworker and carpenter), with her own design-build business in the United States for 25 years, before moving to France in 2015. She then turned her focus more to the art of batik, which she has been practicing for more than 30 years. Riggan is also an avid hiker and gardener, as well as a practitioner of yoga and meditation, and her reverence for light, earth, and sky, is reflected in her work.
