ABOUT
My work is all about curiosity.
How ?
By creating a patchwork of unlimited possibilities where every single choice opens a door to another universe and different dimensions.
I let myself be inspired by nature, its forms, its colours, its light. After years of research on different techniques and materials, I let my curiosity guide me towards new creations.
What interests me is the story behind my work, by mixing colours, parts of fabric and other materials. I want to bring out the emotions of each element into a rich and intricate patchwork.
By piecing together these pieces that reflect dreams and ideas, I want to show how we can bring them alive and express them in our reality. We stay young with these dreams, ideas and aspirations.

Thus it is in France, after years around Australia, Europe and the USA, that she decides to leave her successful analyst career to devote herself fully to her true calling... ART.
