I am a printmaker, inspired by the landscape and mythology
I am a printmaker, inspired by the landscape and mythology of my native France and my home in the Cotswolds.
Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in France, where I attended design school in Bordeaux, my imagination was fired by the landscape and wildlife around me.
Moving to first Scotland and then to the Cotswolds I worked in social care and for charities, but always filled my spare time with drawing and painting.
I am now focused on printmaking, where I use linocut and drypoint techniques to create images that are inspired by wildlife, landscape, imagination, mythology, and the different worlds around us.
Since the birth of my daughter, I have added some of the humour and sense of fun from children’s imaginations.
