About Me

My background

I live in San Francisco for the past 8 years and I love this town. Originally I am from Burgundy in France, I migrated to Sunnyvale California in 1994 to work in Computer Graphic with PDI/DreamWorks for few years. I hold degrees in fine arts from the Beaux Arts in Dijon, France and at Otis Parsons in Los Angeles.
I studied Sculpture, painting, Theater set Design and interior Design, however my heart is now in the watercolors that I am showing to you here in this website. Enjoy!

My experience

I am an artist, educator and designer. I am passionate about Art. All my life i found ways to express my creativity. I taught Art to children, made murals & theater set designs for small theater companies in the Bay area, I worked at DreamWorks in the Entertainment industry and lately I started making small clay sculptures of women holding yoga poses.

My vision

The work I display in this website is about the heart. Each watercolor is a meditation. It is the Heart that is important. I start with a circular shape defining an interior and an exterior. In a seed, heart, cell, planet or egg, a drop of magenta watercolor pigment takes life to become a flower, a landscape, a butterfly, an organ or an embryo. I try to get a respiration between the inside and the outside. The Magenta color symbolizes pure love and like a chant, I write words in a spiral that helps the opening of my heart.
I want to bring beauty, elevate, open people hearts, trigger an heavenly feeling in us to uplift us.
