From 1958 to 1968, she studied drawing at La Providence and the Atelier Daubé in Saint-Brieuc, Brittany. In 1968, she moved to Morocco, where her paintings were imbued with the warm colors of Africa. Her undeniable talent as a colorist reached its full maturity there. In 1971, she returned to Nantes and studied at the School of Fine Arts. From 1974 to 1980, she lived in Reims, in the Champagne region, as a student at the School of Fine Arts, where she collaborated with a team of painters specializing in oil painting. She moved to Rouen in 1980 and worked in Viviane Favre's studio until 1984. That same year, she met Albert Malet, the last great painter of the Rouen School. Under his tutelage, she developed her Impressionist talent, marking a decisive turning point in her career. She made her debut at the Galerie du Comptoir Rouennais in 1986, and her first exhibition at the Palais des Congrès in Rouen was a resounding success. Since then, she has exhibited regularly. In 1988, she won First Prize for Oil Painting at the Arts et Création exhibition in Marseille. She was also a finalist at the 24th Cannes International Prize and the 39th Deauville International Exhibition. She has also received several medals (gold, silver and bronze) at various exhibitions. Her works are featured in private collections in Germany, the United States, England, Denmark, Japan, Sweden and Canada.
