I am a French-born artist living in Ireland. I am an oil painter and writer.
As a kid, I was often drawing characters with my sister. I was also separately writing stories. As an introvert, showing my emotions or expressing my thoughts orally was (and is still) not easy. Creating stories through my drawings and fictions was a way to express my feelings. However, when I entered high school, I abandoned art to concentrate on my studies, to get a job which would bring me a comfortable income, and at the time, art wasn’t part of the equation. Years passed and I made myself busy as a food scientist, living and working in different countries in Asia and Europe.
Nevertheless, living without making art didn’t make me happy. Going back to art, finding the time and courage was not easy. It took several years and several attempts before I finally could create again.
