In a surrealist approach, she constructs a parallel cosmos where fish soar through the air and birds sink beneath the waves, questioning the boundaries between freedom and captivity.

Inspired by the colors and patterns of her childhood in the Pacific, she illustrates her memories, faithfully transcribing or shaping reality according to her imagination.

Playing with pencils and paint, she has also created a unique Parisian space dedicated to embroidery, her second passion.

Her drawing practice is rich in a multitude of tools and techniques, seeking to best adapt the subject to the medium.

She then articulates traces of reality in an imaginary world that is imbued with mystery and fantasy.
