Biography

Born in 1942

A contemporary Impressionist painter and a leading pastel artist. She established her studio in Château Bertrand, inherited from her family in the Perche region, and paints the nearby rural landscapes with soft, bright colors. One can't help but fall asleep enveloped in the gentle light of her spring landscapes. When she paints autumn rural scenes, we feel as if we are strolling with her along the paths.
