| About the Artist |
Born in 1969 in Vire (France), I have been in the UK since 1997.
Trained in Fine Arts and graphic design, it is only after a few years of reflection that a new energy has found it’s source in the heart of England. 10 years ago, I left France, my native region of Normandy and my adoptive town of Nantes. My inspiration has been influenced by Great Britain even from a tender age.
Most of my work is on commission. When a client comes to meet with me, a relationship begins that builds trust and that with care merges the client’s aspirations with my inspiration. This drives my most imaginative designs and artwork.
It is also through my cultural diversity and unusual artistic background that my works finds it’s unique and personal edge.
I am now working internationally, in collaboration with other artists, professional designers and collectors, some in Northern Europe, some in Dubai.
