        Welcome

  • Born in Belgium in 1951, daughter of  painter and decorator artisan, I bathe as of my childhood in the universe of  colors and decoration.
  • At 20 years, student in art-déco at the academy of Charleroi, I win as of  the  first  year, a competition: "to paint the walls of the city" and I carry  my project out,in winter, alone, facing a 3 height meters on 55 meters length wall.
  • One of the innumerable  best moments of my life: the management of a super small bar with topics: art-concert-théatre; I could let  my imagination free by decorating  and redecorating it all the time..
  • I also start  painting: about fifteen paintings... unfortunately, they  are all stealed at the time of a first exhibition in France.
  • Than,disappointed, my second passion, the travels,get the better of  painting.
  • During many years, my brushes are only used  to decorate the walls of the many houses where I just stay for a little time. 
  • Adoring the old things and manager of a second hand shop, I take an enormous pleasure to give again a second life at all  old furniture. I work much on order.
  • But the travels keep a great place in my life, I am shared between Belgium, France... and Portugal. It is in this one,in a splendid workshop at my disposal,that,in 2003, I paint acrylic paintings again,and ...stones too.It is there too, with much happiness, that I let myself invade by the mysterious world of the cats.
  •  In Belgium again, I discover another world: that one of the motorbike; full throttle, I  reproduce  these marvellous  machines; I learn how to use an airbrush , I paint on the leather jackets too and create some objects "spécial bykers".
  • Impassioned by tibetan culture, I  imagine a society game and carry the model out.
  • Today, between 2 travels, I let my bags in the south of France where I fit up a workshop with the help of my little family.

    Gradually, the bird makes its nest... Strong of a lot of experience, I hope  to open soon a real artist workshop,where will  pleasure of the eyes, colors of the life, dream and... professionalism mix;

    Have a good visit on my small gallery.
