Born in Brest, I spent much of my childhood in the Nantes region. Passionate about drawing from an early age, I was rarely seen without a pencil in hand!

A little later, I began studying sculpture in René Robin's workshop at the Moulin Gautron in Vertou, near Nantes, where I created figures and a few nude studies. It was a formative period, rich in artistic growth.

Eager to start a fulfilling career, I turned to a technical training program in "drafting for execution and graphic communication," also near Nantes—a course designed to lead toward careers in advertising. It was there that I explored a range of techniques: pencil, charcoal, red chalk, felt-tip pen, gouache, acrylic…

As a young adult, I left Nantes to settle in Vannes, in the Morbihan region, and I never left this Brittany that feeds both my need for escape and my creativity. In love with nature, and drawn more to a career as an artist than to the world of advertising, I began sketching my surroundings—birds in particular—through my work as a nature guide. I created and exhibited many naturalist drawings and paintings.

In 1995, I won First Prize for Drawing at the Palais des Arts in Vannes.

At 27, wanting to deepen my training, I earned my D.E.U.G. (a two-year university degree) in Fine Arts at Paris I, and went on to begin a Bachelor's degree—interrupted when I became a mother.

Since then, I have devoted myself fully to painting, as well as to illustration, initially through collaborations on various books. Inspired by my native Brittany and a desire to bring a touch of wonder, I invite readers to follow the adventures of Éline and Tomis, in a world of legends, fairies, and pixies! I co-author several books with Patrice Manic, available in bookstores.

With a love of sharing my craft, I also teach drawing classes for the Baden art and music association.

Painting—and oil painting in particular—makes up a significant part of my work, which moves between abstract and figurative art. Constantly evolving, I never stop exploring new directions. I paint many landscapes, some inspired by reality, others entirely imagined. Realism is often, and deliberately, transcended. At times, human figures make their way into the illustrations. A sense of introspection is often present in my paintings.
