ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I like my work to convey a sense of peace, a meditative state. To achieve this I give great attention to space in relation to the form. The colours come later, through a meditation on what energy or emotion each work has. I tend to use acrylic paint, oil or mixed media.

I am attracted to Asian philosophies and aesthetics; by the same token I am attentive to fractals in the Australian bush, which seem to make their way into my painting in a contemporary and perhaps abstract style.

CURRICULUM VITAE

Born in Normandy, France, I have been living in Australia for 28 years.

In France, I attended l’École des Beaux Arts, wanting to be a painter. I later fell in love with photography, learned the craft and worked as a freelance photographer in diverse jobs. One of these was working in the Audio Visual Department of Elf Aquitaine Paris, covering Formula 1 Grand Prix and racing cars all around Europe. Soon after arriving in Sydney in 1981, I went back to my first love, painting. I completed a BA in Visual Arts at UWS Nepean in 1994 and have since then been a full-time practising artist, exhibiting in both solo and group shows.
