- Born in Madrid in 1969 of a dutch mother and a french father, I started my artistic career as soon as I could hold a pencil, filling up pages of scribbles with the now old-fashioned red and blue pencils.
- I drew birds, bees, suns and houses, then also cows, chicken and trees…
- Leaving kindergarden was also parting with drawing ; I had to learn that two plus two always make four… The school years went by in different countries, as my father’s job drove us often to live outside of France. It is in New-York that I passed the French graduation (baccalaureat) and began to draw again.
- Half in the States, half in France, I pushed my artistic studies for another five years.
- After working in an copper engraving workshop in Paris, I turned to more colorfull techniques, among them watercolor which has become my favorite way of artistic expression.
- If my production was slowed down for the last years, the time to built up a family –my three children are still young-, I am now, to my great joy, able to spend hours again in my small workshop. I now live in the landscape of Isère in France, surrounded by the animals I used to draw long ago, and if I give now the prime to the expression of my emotions, birds, trees and other bees still participate to the accomplishment of my art.
