BIO
I grew up in Paris France. My parents’ roots are in the island of Guadeloupe, French West Indies, India and Bretagne. As a child, I was surrounded by Art everywhere in my daily life. I always wanted to be a painter but my parents oriented my studies towards world languages.
Life brought me to the United States where I started a career as a world language teacher. I majored in Education with a Master's degree and took as many art classes as I could to feed my passion for painting. The last course I took with Virginia Common Wealth University in 2009 was a post graduate class with professional artists. I was in heaven and thankful for the opportunity. From that moment I started painting again and never stopped.
Today, I’m still working as a full time World Language teacher and paint weekly. I have sold some of my paintings to private collectors worldwide. My work was featured twice on national television on the French channel France Ô, which covers regional talents in Guadeloupe, French West Indies.In 2015 from July to September, I was one the 50 artists featured in the Art Exhibition “Passion and Allure” with Fusions Art Galleries in Miami Florida.
Statement
"Creole Smile, Creole traditional attire and warm welcome at an outdoor market."
