I was 15 years old when I created my first sculptures. I sculpted small people in plaster. Most did not survive because they were too delicate to stay in our tremendous world.
And I was about to stop there. Because of my studies, of my work far from this, sculpture was mostly a way to meet nice people and buy beautiful sculptures.
Then, I met Véronique Loyer several times. She convinced me that I could start again. I hesitated a loing time thinking I didn't have enough time and tried in 2011 because I was convinced that I needed to create something. Quickly, I performed heads and half lenght portraits then animals thanks to Stéphane Goarnisson who proposed trainings. With these two mentors, I was able to create my fist original pieces and be enough proud of them to show them during exhibitions.
In 2013, I met Clotilde Cousin whose who I discover living model scultpure (heads and nake).
In 2014, I propose to Kéré Dali to join the Atelier Artistique de Thorigné-Fouillard. He teaches me various technics from 2015 to 2018.
In 2016, I perform my first exhibition with various sculptures.
Since 2018, I choose themes for my exhibitions. I mostly work using my memory and using the defaults created by my memory and use what is left after few years to create sculptures.
This is just the start of the story.

- Stéphane Goarnisson, friend and animal sculptor. His workshop is in Chavaigné (Brittany - France). He inspired me and gave me the desite to start;
- the Atelier Artistique de Thorigné-Fouillard, who permited to me to learn in a wonderfull and friendly workshop and cooked my first pieces;
- Clotilde Cousin, human being sculptor, in the past teacher in the Atelier du Thabor of Rennes (Brittany - France). Her workshop is in Saint-Michel-sur-Glomel;
- Kere Dali, stone sculptor - not only, with whom I created the sculptor course in the workshop of Thorigné-Fouillard. He taughed me the forms and textures. He taught me to watch the world and permitted to me to find my own style. He knows a lot about technics and guided to me to try some of them.
To all, THANKS.
You arrived here because one day, I met a woman, a friend, a passionate cerasmist. She opened my eyes and permits to me to remember my artisitic side that I had hidden inside me since I was 15 years old. It was hidden by the mechanics of our society.
She then teached me her art: the work of ceramics. She made ceramics more beautiful the one that the others and I lived my children dreams. My art is the terestrial form of my imagination and of my dreams... It is a mixture of faces, animals but also fairies, elfs and fantastic figures... I look for lightness, movement, esthetic and fantasy.
Along this site, I share my dreams with you and they might become yours.
