About me:

I have always been deeply drawn to colors and painting ever since I was a child. But it is only later in life, after various scientific & business studies, then earning a Masters in Architecture at UC Berkeley at 37, that I finally allowed myself to be fully dedicated to painting.

I LOVE to experiment on a continual basis, so I often work with many different media, painting supports, genres and sizes. This exploratory way of working keeps me inspired and energized, and takes me along different paths simultaneously. I do not show all of its results, but this continuous discovery stretches me beyond my comfort zone and is a huge part of my evolution as an artist. In painting, as in most of the rest of my life, I respond to the inclinations of my body in the moment, simply because for me, that's what being an artist is all about and because I can't seem to be able to function any other way. So when I paint, I usually don't have a firm plan.

Raised in Provence by the Mediterranean, I then moved to the California Bay Area 28 years ago. I have lived in each of these places for the same amount of time and both are home to me. Both are marvelous sources of inspiration.

Over the years, I have made my work available to various private collectors all over the world - on line and in person as well as via shows and gallery representation.

Thank you for visiting.
 

A note about payment:

• I do require a personal exchange with you - my collectors - before proceeding to a final sale. By email is perfect.
   
• I want to make sure the work you are purchasing is a good fit for you, and that you will be fully satisfied with your purchase (before you pay me and receive your painting.)
