Eliane Monnin was born in Morteau (Doubs), from a family of watchmakers, speleologists and collectors of collections. After studying applied arts and then plastic arts at the faculty of Strasbourg, she set up her workshop in the Basque country in 2002. A new field of action opened up to her in 2007 when she discovered working with the land. , this material animates her and the fascination she feels towards nature and its organic abstractions pushes her to create a sensitive universe close to living things. Through these primitive living systems, the artist seeks representations of our own body. Viruses emerging from the abyss, soft beasts with strange epidermis, the impression of a teeming life, animal, plant or human, she blurs the tracks and builds a universe oscillating between attraction and repulsion. These improbable objects born of a personal mythology, taken out of a cabinet of curiosities, refer us to the ambivalences of the body, to the territories of touch and touch. "We find, in Eliane Monnin's creations, the spirit of the classic Cabinet of Curiosities and its elementary engine: to amass, isolate, order but also place the rare object in a space, a context that charges it with meaning. There is also something of the fascination for the mathematical structure of natural objects, for the paradox between the irregularity of shapes and the formula behind the perfect repetition of patterns, for nature as the producer of a life drive that could to confine to art, which itself would reproduce something of nature ... Shells, epidermis, gushes of plants, organics, minerals emerge in a disturbing staging where obsession, fascination-repulsion, anguish ... but also humor, are not absent. It is at the same time the marvelous and the poetic, the intimate and the emotion, which play in the work of Eliane with the borders between the wonders of nature (naturalia ), the tour de force ar tisanal and artistic language (artificialia). " by Sevan L'Hostis. 2015.

GET TO KNOW THE SEEDS FAMILY

WHERE IT BEGAN

THE STORY

Seeds of Happiness started out as leftover lumps of clay I made into little smiles to give to friends who were going through hard times and needed a little smile.

That was in 2006, since then I have given out thousands of smiles to folks, a handful at a time. In turn, they share them and the story with their friends in need of a smile.

Then, those people share with more friends and keep the story going. The Seeds are all over the planet by now. I receive a lot of e-mails with photos and stories showing how these little Seeds made a difference to someone. From Africa to the land down under, the Seeds have been planted and smiles have been resurrected for people who need them. Seems a lot of people need smiles these days. Share a Smile - help me spread Seeds of Happiness.

THE SEEDS OF HAPPINESS GUY

MARK BORELLA

Mark's interest in art began as a toddler with his first Lego sculptures or so claims his mom! As early as high school, Mark's artwork was focused on faces and smiles. He completed his higher education with four degrees in fine art. After graduation, he has been fortunate to have continuously earned his living as an artist.

"My artwork is not serious, but I take my art very seriously."

In 2007 Seeds of Happiness began as a heartfelt act of kindness and has continued to grow organically into a thriving business. At the beginning, it was about Mark making the Smiles and giving them out to friends. Now, he is just a part of it.

The Mudslinger

David was Mark's art teacher in high school. He helped shape Mark's love of sculpting. Now, over 30 years later, they are working together again. David hand makes all of our mugs and Mark finishes them with a Smile!
