Mon Parcours Artistique
Je suis une peintre-créatrice née en Bourgogne en 1965. Mon amour pour l'art a pris racine dès ma jeunesse, où j'ai été formée aux techniques de la peinture, du papier à la toile en passant par le vitrail et la photographie.
Le Monde à travers mes toiles
Depuis 1992, je parcours le monde des expositions, de la France à l'Europe, puis vers l'Amérique, l'Asie et l'Afrique. J'ai eu le privilège d'exposer dans des salons, des galeries, des musées, et des manifestations artistiques à travers le globe.
Révélation artistique en 2022
L'année 2022 a marqué une étape significative de ma carrière artistique avec la publication de "Lignes en transhumance, 30 ans de peinture". Cet ouvrage rétrospectif réunit des décennies d'expression artistique, des pensées dispersées au fil de mes créations, et les réflexions d'auteurs et théoriciens de l'art.

My design techniques
The oil
I have a predilection for oil painting because it allows such a richness of expression that it brings the image to life. It vibrates with the light that shines through it. It’s also a question of material. I like to work with a knife because I feel the vibrations of the canvas, the more or less fluid, unctuous matter. The crunch of the knife on the canvas is one of the most beautiful sounds. This allows me to work either with force, to force the material to take shape, to enter the line and absorb the energy, or with lightness, to create magic, light and transparency.
Chinese ink and acrylics
These two materials enable rapid expression. They are simple and easy to use, especially for the daily act of writing. As I’ve always been passionate about calligraphy, studying it has led me to express myself in a different way. The result is the creation of a gesture: my calligraphic gesture, which I experience as a primordial gesture between writing and drawing. It’s a fluid gesture of energy and vitality, found mainly in the canvases where I use these water-based techniques.
Open-mindedness
I’m curious and like to experiment with other means of expression, such as photography, the fascination of the “moving image” with videos, creation with the computer and its various software programs, and stained glass for its transparency. But also materials such as clay and wood. I even had the opportunity to work with a Limoges porcelain master for a 3D approach to the material. I brought a different experimentation to the application of colors.

Publication for 30 years of painting
In 2022, she published “Lignes en transhumance, 30 ans de peinture”. This retrospective book brings together works painted from childhood to the present day, taking almost two years to conceive.
Regards et Réflexions
This book is enriched by texts from Carnets Transhumances – his thoughts scattered throughout my creations – and by three authors: art theorist Éryx de la Clappe, writer Li Fu and troubadour Lyrcis. These studies define his pictorial evolution. They reveal, among other things, the world of blues where transparency dominates, red sensations and the universal magic of the calligraphic gesture. Photographs of workshops and exhibitions in France and abroad complete the picture.
