ANIMIST AND INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST

Born on January 8, 1975 in Angoulême (France). Holder of a Bachelor’s degree in Human Sciences (Visual Arts) and a Bachelor’s degree in Language Sciences (Digital Communication and New Media). First a soldier in the French Armed Forces, then a freelance graphic designer and artistic director, she decided in 2018 to explore fully personal artistic creation and sound therapy.
Since 2011, she lives and works in the south and the west coast of France, where the mediterranean/atlantic landscapes are part of her artistic inspiration. She focuses more specifically on the organic and spiritual relationship with water element  — through her main subject of research : the mystical eros, a carnal and ethereal aqueous initiation, more commonly called in southern animisms ‘spiritual marriage with water spirit’, also practiced in the Mystery Cults of Antiquity rooted in meridional spiritualites.
In 2021, she launched “Poetics of Reverie”, a collaborative artistic project combining poetry, painting, electro music, short films, body and nature, with the aspiration to poetically inhabit the flesh of the world. She collaborates with poets, videographers, painters, musicians to experience vibration through slow movement, touch, sound, silence, poetic acts, symbolic language, bodily interactions with the mineral-vegetal-animal world.
