In 1985 she moved to Corrèze, the region of the Limousin from which her family originated, before relocating to Paris in 1990. Her earliest works, in the form of large portraits drawn from photographs, show the influence of Ernest Pignon-Ernest, but she soon turned to abstraction in the spirit of Klee and De Staël. She showed a passion for art from an early age and resolved to dedicate her life to it in 1975.
