Née en 626, Son père, maire du palais de Dagobert Ier roi d'Austrasie, est l'ancêtre de Charles Martel, de Pépin le Bref et de Charlemagne. Sainte Gertrude est donc issue d’une famille aisée qui occupe un château à Nivelles. Dès son adolescence, elle témoigne d'une disposition d'esprit profondément religieuse qui lui fait refuser les prétendants qui lui sont présentés.
Au xve siècle, une légende fait qu'elle est invoquée contre la fièvre, les invasions de rats et de souris dans les Pays-Bas, en Alsace et en Catalogne.
Elle est également la protectrice des chats et devient à cette époque la patronne des fileuses parce que celles-ci avaient interdiction de filer le 17 mars, date où les travaux d'hiver cessaient.
I learned my job as a visual artist at the Beaux Arts in Quimper and worked with very talented artists, Danièle MADEC (painting with a knife), Jean Jacques QUINQUIS (watercolor), Yves DOARE (engraving), Louis DERBRE (sculpture).
For 10 years, my work has focused on 2 subjects: the human body and the contemporary vision of Breton heritage (31 award-winning works). Many local but also international exhibitions (Tunisia, Japan) have hosted my paintings.
In 2004, I had the chance to meet an extraordinary painter, Jean TIRILLY. Since then we have been working together. By his side, I learned to paint what I saw in myself. He allowed me to dare.
Spirituality and the human being nourish my inspiration.
In addition, holder of an art therapist diploma from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Poitiers, I specialized in helping and caring for drug addicts.
Art therapy is a therapeutic means of fighting addiction. I developed this subject in the book "Discover Art Therapy - Words on pain - Colors on pain" published by Larousse, Paris 2010.
