Why I create ?

I am a daydreamer, my work is inspired by the colorful landscapes that I encountered in my travels. Creating is a form of meditation for me, I enjoy the play of colors and textures using diverse medium. I work with watercolor, ink, pencil, hand cut paper, wire, collage and sewing.

My Story

I come from a small town in Provence in the South of France. I started my artistic journey as a professional dancer and choreographer. I toured internationally for several years, it permitted me to discover diverse cultures and landscapes. In between tours, I would play with different art mediums to reconnect. Contrasting with ephemeral dance, I enjoy finishing a mixed media piece that can be observed through time. I am now based in Los Angeles, my favorite places are the beautiful ocean and surrounding nature of California.
