I started learning sculpture by carving directly on wood with a craftsman sculptor. Then, my career path is similar to autodidactism. My favorite theme is "The Standing Woman in Poetry"

The world is crazy or clumsy. So, I choose the path and also the voice of the dream by creating only a world of beauty, softness, sensuality, via direct wood carving Sculpture.
I represent the Standing Woman, proud and always elegant. This poetic approach is realized by the search for curves. I leave the face smooth, in order to give the viewer his freedom to imagine.
Poetry is at the center of my practice of Wood Sculpture and of all my cultural activities: leading workshops on poetic expression, writing collections, duo concerts with the singer Lucie Beauregard "Concept Chanson a capella et Poésie".
