PASSION FOR ART, NATURE & SCIENCES

 

My mother has always said that I wanted to do everything... 

 

She knows me well. I´m a French artist currently living in the Canary Islands, and my passions have led me to live abroad in London, Brussels, Havana, San Jose in Costa Rica before settling down in the Canary Islands.

 

I´ve worked as a Fench, German and English teacher, as a research assistant in field studies in primary forests, coffe plantations, at sea, in sewers, extracting DNA in labs, as a guide, an illustrator and a collaborating artist with several organisations and as art workshop instructor for children.

 

Through these years, I have been developing my artistic skills and artwork, using my scientific background from university studies in animal biology and environmental studies, as an inspiration.

 

Since 2010, I´ve invested much time at sea capturing in pictures the most charismatic inhabitants in Canarian waters: whales, dolphins and turtles in their natural environment.
