I've always loved drawing and creating. As a child, the sheet of paper was my refuge and a bubble where I could express my emotions and find inner peace. I read a lot and dreamed of learning to express myself, to spread my artistic wings. I went on to study art, which left me disillusioned and skeptical. Teaching seemed to me a way of staying in touch with art and passing on my passion to children.

I’m a mixed media painter and I love using a lot of mediums to seek beauty and peace. Mixing techniques is a time-consuming but exciting process. When I superpose layers of materials and textures, I stay focused on this preparation time. The collages are part of the history of the work, because they are clues to its history. This is what gives the finished work its great depth. Each piece is unique and has a different story to tell.

With over 25 years of experience teaching and guiding thousands of students, I've learned the methods to develop everyone's creative qualities. Through classes and workshops, I can help nature lovers to paint landscapes with soul even if you think you are not creative. It's a joy and an honor to make this my work.

My inspiration comes from nature. Whether it's in the landscapes where I live or in my vacation memories, from the magnificent skies of Normandy to my sweet Franche Comté, I'm always fascinated by nature. The skies and their clouds, the wind and the rain, the landscapes that moves in the wind and, of course, the oceans and the waves.

I've always written and drawn. Reading was my escape, and an incredible new world of freedom opened up before me. I filled diaries and agendas, started several books and wrote poetry.

Writing is that precious time when I find myself with God. Where I write down my thoughts and bring clarity to my life. And what I can't say in words, I paint on canvas.
