Born with a relish for the sea, open expanses and freedom which she has combined with a talent for drawing and painting, has pursued her ideal of living close to the sea and has infused her paintings with the quality of emotion.

The wandering of a Breton Father from job to job brought her to the Paris area and particuliar to Versailles where she attended the Beaux Arts school and worked in the René Albert studio for six years

She returned to her "roots" each summer and then, set up the Breton painter group which she ran from 1968 to 1976.

What followed then then was a two -year round-the-world trip on the merchant vessels, after which she settled permanently in Britanny and opened her exhibition studio in Quiberon

Since 1956 she has taken part in numerous exhibitions with other painters, in Paris, in Province and abroad, but has never stopped exhibiting on her own in France and Geat Britain as well

Her refusal to compromise and her strong love of freedom has kept her off the official routes of recognition, but it is precisely this solution that has fostered the originality of her work and kept it free from any influence.

Her endeavour to discover what lies behind appearances, be they of objets or of living beings, has led her to develop a technique of extreme simplification in form and colour.

The use of patches of pure flat colour endows everyday objects with the serenity and unconstrainedness that she is in constant need of.

He works feature in private collections in France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. One work acquired by the F.R.A.C. of Britanny
