Native of the Côte d'Or, my artistic journey began very early, as a child I already drew a lot and loved to "sketch the image of my loved ones"
From 1973, I exhibited in my native Burgundy, and since then I have been present in numerous exhibitions where my work on nudes in pastel is noticed and rewarded.
I have long practiced oil and acrylic, two techniques mainly used for my trompe-l'oeil.
I also learned Polychromos colored pencils for artists. Applied in successive layers, they bring a remarkable density to the fur of my animal painting.

But, for a few years now, I have been seduced by dry pastel, it is one of my favorite mediums. These small sticks with very pure tones, with their pigments that are spread and melted with the fingers, ensure a very sensual working technique.


Currently, I give painting and pastel classes in various associations.
