Visual artist, painter and photographer born in Paris in 1959, she grew up in Seine-Saint-Denis and currently lives in Paris. While studying medicine, the artist began painting, following a visual shock in front of a monochrome by Yves Klein. A doctor of medicine, she trained at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Throughout her career and her travels, she works in series using numerous pictorial techniques and materials.
For 20 years, she has done multi-field projects in favor of European cultural identity and peace. These projects brought her to Rio de Janeiro where she lived for several years. Her work focuses on the expression of spirituality in the world.
