Born in France April 1961, I grew up in Brittany along the Atlantic shore. My life has been surrounded by the ocean over many latitudes. I love life’s palette of colors, lights, movements of the swells, clouds, fauna, open ocean, friendly shores and endless horizons. I’m deeply attracted to the beauty of the Polynesian people and their strong, proud and esthetical culture. I use vivid colors in the range of a tropical rainbow as the trade winds blow gently through my stories. I feel blessed to express myself through what I observe, share and illustrate. This is my way of showing respect for our majestic planet.
