BIO

 

For the longest time I have carried two sentences inside me like small lanterns, yearning for more. One by Albert Camus “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer” and the other, Maya Angelou’s “You only are free when you realize you belong to no place”. These words still guide me. Naturally, my work explores the complexities of belonging and the meaning of home—the emotional landscapes of connection, transition, identity, and the search for rootedness in a life shaped by movement.

I am a French-Australian illustrator, author and emerging painter based in Perth, Western Australia. I hold a Master’s in Art (Illustration) and bring years of experience illustrating and publishing children’s picture books—including a Kate Greenaway Medal nomination—into my current practice. In my large-scale figurative paintings I blend the delicate, searching lines of my sketchbooks with bold form.​ These works speak directly to the contradictions we all navigate: the violence that emerges when we can no longer agree to disagree, the exhaustion of chasing external validation, and the quiet unease of feeling invisible or astray in a crowded world.

In my paintings I hold these tensions gently, inviting you to see that transformation often begins in stillness. The work asks you to be present—to sit with your own lost threads, falls, and rebirths—and to discover that true belonging is something we forge from within.
