The artist standing near her paintings.
Stemming from a long line of artists: musicians, singers, painters and magicians, she was almost born behind the scenery on a theater stage. Fascinated by the enchantement of the people and the esthetical appearance which art reveales, she, at her turn, becomes an artist herself. She starts working with her father, a famous magician, in his show and then starts touring herself.
Despite her success, the art on stage isn't her true and deep passion. She prefers painting instead. She applies at the Art Academy of Toulouse. In the 70's, this institution hardly feeds the soul hungry for pictural academism. Disillusioned, she undertakes other studies with a true zest for knowledge : history, international law, geography, sociology... She follows several courses at the university simultaneously and finances them by continuing her show and tours.
She piles diplomes and doctoral theses. However, she keeps on being a stranger to herself. She then returns to her brushes and eazel definitively. Today, it's the enchantment of her works of arts which tell the unspeakable story of magic of the world she wandered.
Her canvasses found their destiny in the privat collections in Europe and North America.
