Born in in the north of France, she discovered the lights of the South, the brigthness of the sun, the shade of the alleyways while travelling in Cuba, India, Vietnam, Spain, Portugal and above all in Italy, where she ventures each summer, appealed by the architectural elegance of its cities and villages, striding along backstreets, immersing herself in the everyday life of shady squares and sleepy piers filled with sunlight. Thumbnail stektches of « Côte d’Azur », Venice or Naples fill her notebooks. As so many coloured, friendly and enduring memories nourishing her artist’s work.
