Artist Statement

"Since 1999 I work in my little studio in the old town of Geneva (Switzerland) not far from the Leman lake. Nature is my main inspiration but mostly water and it is the recalled memories of what I see in my surrounding while walking, during travels abroad but also in magazines, photos or paintings which mostly inspire me.
The different colors of the water due to the tones of the sky or of the mountains, its mouvements and reflections fascinate me: always the same but every day different. The changes in continuity are a perpetual source of wonder.
I am a textile artist working in Art Quilt whose work mixes contemporary techniques with more traditional constructions."
