I was born in Toulouse, France in 1971. In 1991 I entered the Paris Decorative Arts School where I discovered a rich student life.
After graduating in 1995, I went to India for six months to work in Mother Theresa’s hospice. It was a voyage of initiation. I was 25 years old and not the same person when I came home. Since then, I have never stopped travelling.
In 2001, I discovered lacquer painting technique in Hanoi. Choosing lacquer was imposing limits on myself that I had to go beyond. Working with a precious material was an added pleasure, for vegetal lacquer is alive, rare, expensive and very nearly eternal.
After four years in Hanoi, we decided to move to Canada with my husband.
In Toronto I set up a bilingual workshop with an artist from Quebec but we decided to begin our lives afresh in Vientiane, Laos.
In 2010 I slowly began producing and had solo exhibitions in Vientiane, Toronto and in Siem Reap where I was invited in August of 2018 to participate in the Asia Lacquer Exchange.
Thanks to my practice, I have acquired a rare savoir-faire and am a link in a thousand-year old tradition.
I share the world that touches me with my paintings which I patiently produce in my studio overlooking a small lake whose light changes hour by hour.
Asia has become my home once again and it is here that I am flowering as an artist.
