Self-taught artist figurative born in 1979, originally from Amboise where she still lives today.

She discovered painting with the impressionists on the way thanks to a plastic arts teacher in college. She chose to study history before working for 15 years in the social field where she did school support in a social center with children with learning difficulties, behavior and foreign origin.

< p>It is following a recent painful period and a traumatic event (conjugal violence of a narcissistic pervert), that she decides to change her professional path and devote herself to art and creation full time. in 2020. This period and the appropriate help including the support received, through various therapies afterwards, turn out to be the trigger and for her a reconstruction and a rebirth.

She mainly paints in oil. Discovered during a workshop in 2009, this medium has never left him, making oil his favorite technique. She allows her to take her time and thus play with the material to transcribe the lights, contrasts, colors and desired effects such as the gradients and fades that she likes and that are found in all her works, while using various supports. and formats such as wood, natural linen, embroidery supports, round, hexagonal, oval frame shapes, etc...

Nature is at the center of all these as if it were its favorite living model, taking on various forms and subjects such as landscapes, the sky, the floral and vegetable world and more recently animals.

She takes her inspiration from the countryside of her childhood as well as that discovered with her parents, during holidays with whom they liked to discover and visit the different corners of France.

This is how she transcribes on her canvases this nature which has always accompanied her and which runs through his veins as above all a tribute to his peasant origins and roots, of farmer/winegrower parents, also showing the magnificence of Nature in general and the emotions that it releases and gives us by admiring it, contemplating it .

These works are made of landscape or plant scenes devoid of human presence. Some can be grouped by subject or theme with a more personal interpretation and meaning linked to the journey and life trials encountered by the artist, such as a hidden metaphor (resilience and anchoring, yin and yang or childhood made games in the fields and the flowers with the herbaria for example, and many others, etc.…)
