I’m French, and my childhood was a canvas yet to be painted. I didn’t realise it then, but living across Nigeria, France, Spain, the UK and Indonesia was quietly layering me with colour. Everywhere I looked, there were vibrant rhythms in the fabrics, the sounds, the textures, the way people adorned themselves and their spaces. These early impressions soaked into me, becoming a palette I’ve carried ever since.

Eventually, I found my way back to London, where I immersed myself in print and embroidery, working alongside a new wave of fashion designers. It was an invaluable education but more than that, it made one thing clear, that I should move beyond fashion, past interiors, and step fully into the world of fine art.

Handwoven textiles are the way I speak. They're free from function, open to interpretation, and made to be felt as much as seen. I want each piece to feel alive, for the colours and patterns to move together, for the woven strips to interact, quietly speaking to each other and, in time, to the viewer.

I work exclusively with natural materials - silks, wools, cottons and linens - sourced in the UK and France. Each carries its own story and together, they help me tell mine.
