Ep 100: Franco-American artist Kali Vermès chats about her curated landscape creations located all over Paris' rooftops!

Franco-American artist and photographer Kali Vermès started making terrariums to satisfy both her green thumb and creative impulses with one activity. The microcosms she creates, under the moniker, Grow Little, are carefully conceived tiny, verdant worlds.

Born in Paris, Kali grew up in an apartment filled with hanging plants. Her Russian photographer grandfather grew pear trees and tended a vegetable garden in his backyard in New Hampshire, and her Norman grandmother was a fervent gardener who always found the time to show off her magnificent plants. Kali began her career as a photographer and has worked with acclaimed artists such as Joel Sternfeld and Robert Wilson. 

Currently based in Montreuil, just outside of Paris, she curates little landscapes that bring a touch of green whimsy to the everyday. Kali Vermès creates lush, gently wild atmospheres, for renowned clients and high-end hotels including Hotel Amour, Hotel Grand Amour, Céline boutiques, Thierry Costes, the Cité de la Mode et du Design.
