I am from Paris, France, where I was born and raised.

My belief that there is a drawing in everything takes me to strange places. I draw about fitness... body language... I draw my love for peppers, garlic heads, artichokes... I draw my frustrations ... how I feel about death ... a thought comes to my mind and ends up on paper ...

I practice color pencil with a passion. I particularly enjoy the challenge of working on black paper. (Everything one learns about color becomes moot when black is used as a background, and you have to abide by new rules) Printmaking is another one of my interests. At this time I am partial to linoneum cuts. Also, it looks like pastels are making a comeback into my artist's life! So ... let the show begin.....
