During our expatriation in India, which lasted six years, I had the chance to explore a vibrant world of colors, scents and spirituality, where shimmering temples punctuated the landscape.

 

Our journey also took us through Asia, where I discovered serenity, kindness and above all, gratitude. The diversity of landscapes, cultures and festivals, especially the festival of colors, HOLI, has deeply influenced my artistic perspective, leaving an indelible imprint on my heart.

​

It was during these years that I explored Zentangle, a meditative artistic practice. I trained to become a certified Zentangle teacher, marking a new chapter in my creative journey. Quickly, I went beyond the traditional tiles drawn in pencil and blended, to explore new dimensions with additions of color in ink or watercolor.

 

Drawing repeating patterns gave me a quiet refuge where I could soothe my soul.

​

However, the return to France was marked by a certain bitterness, because leaving this enchanting universe was heartbreaking, but also of insecurity because my state of health had not improved and the stress of the return even clearly worsened the symptoms, becoming disabling and not allowing me to consider resuming my career.

​

I had to find the necessary resources to finally understand that art was part of my life and that it was high time to devote more time to it.
