About.

“I didn’t reinvent myself at forty.
I simply stopped hiding the parts that were already alive.”

Hey there, I’m Charlotte.

I am a French-American writer exploring the feminine psyche. I write the inner lives of women.

A woman standing indoors against a plain wall with her hands in her pockets, wearing a dark denim jacket, rolled-up jeans, and sneakers, looking at the camera with a serious expression.

I’m 40 & Unfolding

For years, I lived by quiet expectations — of who I should be, what I should achieve, how I should appear. But somewhere between motherhood, womanhood, and my own quiet rebellion, I began to unfold. L’Atelier Charlotte was born from that shift — from a desire to live awake, to inhabit my body with tenderness, and to create from a place of truth rather than performance.

My Creative World

Today, I create through three languages:

My Journal — where I write my reflections and questions about self-intimacy, sensuality, and the slow art of becoming.

Gallery — where I explore embodiment and the gaze — how emotion, light, and presence translate through image.

Enter Now

Rituals — where I share the practices that anchor me: beauty, movement, nourishment, and small acts of devotion.

Explore Now

Each expression feeds the other. Together, they form the rhythm of my unfolding — the way I make sense of who I am and who I’m still becoming.

My Philosophy.

I believe a woman’s life is a work of art — not something to perfect, but something to live inside. At forty, I learned that wholeness is not found in arrival, but in presence — in the way we breathe, love, create, and allow ourselves to be seen and transform. This space is my celebration of that truth. It’s a love letter — to myself, to womanhood, and to the beauty of being fully, unapologetically alive.
