I am an artist,

a surface pattern designer,
a certified life coach,
a globe trotter,
a loving mom to two fun daughters,
a dog lover,
a happily remarried wife,
and a (yellow) Mini Cooper addict.
 

I am French and Finnish and a bit Italian as I escape Finland’s winters (that’s half the year!) to a secret Sicilian corner.
 

I was a late bloomer into art. 
In 2003, I took a plunge into artistic mosaic. I made art, and also made a living at it.
I held 8 solo exhibitions and decorated 2 hotels in Helsinki.
Besides commission works, I taught hundreds of people and published 2 mosaic books.
 

My now nomadic lifestyle led me from mosaics to Surface Pattern Design.

I get my inspirations from my walks with my dog, memories of the 60s-70s and my love for mosaic turned into geometric. Not so far after all :)

I like to make things fun so that I can take them seriously. I also like to deliver on time with everything that is agreed upon. In doubt, I ask more info ;-)

I love nature and I get my inspirations from walks with my dog, memories of the 60s-70s and my love for mosaic turned into geometric. Not so far after all :)
