Painting has been an important part of my life since I was a child. Many decades later the joy and excitement remain intact each time I settle down with paint brushes, gouache, watercolour, acrylic, oil or pencil to start working on a new project. Recently I have discovered how gouache on cardboard work well together. Along with that discovery I am currently working on a series of Big Cat portraits.

Self-taught, I spent a year at the Arts Décoratifs of Limoges which didn’t fulfil my expectations and chose to carry on with my own artistic path.

Whether I undertake a new subject or discover and admire the talent and creativity of fellow artists, from the most notorious to the least known, art has been a source of immense pleasure and vivid emotions.

Born in Brittany in 1951 to a French father and British mother I spent my childhood in Morocco and Madagascar before returning to France in 1962. I visited many countries in my young adult life while working for Air France. I moved to England in 2013. Not exactly a local, but a Scottish great Grand-Father born in Sidmouth gives me a sense of belonging and I have happily settled in beautiful East Devon which I now call home.

Commissions are always an interesting challenge which I am happy to take on.
