About The Artist

At age 20 I moved to Paris and studied at Atelier Albers for two years, a school that prepares pupils who wish to join any of the major Art and Decoration schools in France. The classes were taught by two painters and an architect... Simultaneously I discovered psychology, psychoanalysis and Sophrology in which I took a great interest. I chose this profession and was a psychotherapist in Paris for over 25 years. I continued to draw and paint, went to fine arts school in Auxerre, Burgundy. I have a country house there. 10 years of happy exploration... and a lot of personal work. I ended my therapist career in 2006 at age 51 to become a full time professional artist. I started a new life and concentrated on my passion for painting. After a number of exhibits all over France since 2000, I have created my own "La LiLa" galleries : March 2007 in Burgundy near Chablis, in the workshop of my country house and later that year I bought the village café and turned it into a gallery and tea shop. In 2009 I have opened my workshop in Lacanau by the Atlantic Ocean and in 2011 I had an extension built. In February 2010 I have opened my gallery in the heart of Paris, near Les Halles and the bustling Montorgueil street.
