About Me

My work has found homes in private collections in France, England, the US, and India. I’m represented by Three Stones Gallery in Concord, The Woodstock Gallery in Vermont, and the Hyde Gallery in London, and I’m part of the SoWa Artist Guild here in Boston.

And when I’m not at the easel, I’m in the classroom, teaching French at Wellesley College. I did my PhD at Boston University, and before that I studied literature and art history at the Sorbonne.

So, painter, professor, but mostly someone who’s spent her whole life learning how to look all my life.

I really look forward to meeting you!

I’m a French painter, and I’ve been living and working in Boston out my SoWa studio.

I grew up in the Dordogne, in the south-west of France, in a family of artists and sculptors. It’s a region that pulled in a lot of the surrealists and the cubists, and honestly, I think some of that got into me without my noticing. You can probably see it in the lines I’m drawn to and in the way I use color.

These days I paint out of my studio in the SoWa Art District, mostly in oil and cold wax. I build the paintings up in layers. They’re abstract, but they hover somewhere between a landscape out there and something going on inside. What I keep coming back to are the in-between places: where light turns into shadow, where something you recognize starts to dissolve into abstraction.

And that’s really what connects the painting to the rest of my work. My pieces ask you to slow down and stay with them. Slow viewing is also at the heart of my workshops, where I invite people to linger in stillness long enough to start seeing differently.
