What’s my idea of happiness? Happiness is getting up in the morning and enjoying a life you have chosen.

What is my greatest fear? Loss of control

When and where have I been happiest in my work? When I gave Julien Cohen, a famous French antique dealer, his portrait on canvas in Paris, in one of his shops. His consideration, kindness, and desire to help me in my young career truly touched me. Incredible memory…

If I could, what would I change in myself? The rigour I impose on myself every day for everything .

What is my greatest accomplishment at work? A large-format work commissioned to me on the occasion of the birthday of a great professional footballer. I had to, of course, keep this work confidential and keep the name of this sports personality quiet, but it remains a beautiful memory in my career.

Where would I most want to live? In the middle of mine, in a quiet and inspiring place. What is my most precious possession? My children

What is my most distinctive feature? Empathy What is my most inspiring location in my city? I live in a small village of 1000 inhabitants; the place that inspires me the most is clearly my workshop!

What is my favorite place to eat and drink in my city? My children are in love with a famous American fast food restaurant… so it has become a place we love to hang out with family!

What books have influenced my life and how? My very first book was «The Hound of Baskervilles-Sherlock Holmes». It is from this book that my passion for reading was born, I understood to this day that one could devour a book. Reading has become a relief for me.

What role play stories in my life and work? They are a source of inspiration, they develop the imagination and better convey emotions that I have felt myself.

What do the words ‘You are the storyteller of your own life’ say to me? A year ago, I made the heavy decision to change my life to live out my passion. These words have a strong reasoning in me. It is up to us to write our story, especially since we only have one; that’s what I decided to do and I’m here to tell you.

Who’s my biggest fan, godfather, partner in crime? My greatest shadow partner is my husband, always there for support, listening, encouragement and objective advice. He offered me my workshop with his hands, I would be eternally grateful.

The exceptional exhibition of the collective Unikart will take place from December 2 to 4, at the Thorigny space , Paris 3rd, where I will be present!
