About the Artist

A French native, my inspirations rose from the French Post Impressionism, Cubism and Pop Art of the Twentieth Century. From fashion design, sewing, pattern design to graphic design and the influence of a long list of contemporary artists and designers, I am now so happy to put everything on canvas. A few years ago, after retirement I started painting but my work has been inspired by my many experiences from the last 60 years.

My inspirations come from patterns, shapes, bright colors, recycled materials, printed images and from my photographs taken in many countries over the years.
My new work also includes more stitched fabrics on canvas complimented by color and designs.
I am very inspired by Yayoi Kusama who is in her nineties and is still producing wonderful work. She has taught me that it is never too late to express yourself in painting.
