MY ARTISTIC STORY

I enjoy art for a long time, particularly decorative arts. In first, I put this passion in concrete form buying art books about various subjects like painting, sculpture... and reading work about history of civilizations (Egyptian, Celt...) as well as history of Europ through ages. I consider that history and art are two inseparable subjects.

I have gone to dealers in antiques and it has almost became a drug. Of course, my purchases are proportional to my economic possibilities but it's a great pleasure to me to be surround with old objects and antique furnitures. They are only of nineteenth century but they lived, they have a patina, a story.

A long time ago, I had the chance to go and see lacemakers for open-doors of a club near to my home. I was fascinate and very enraptured.

Months spent after this visit but I didn't forget these women such gifted. More and more, I thought I had to become lacemaker, one day, I didn't know when it would be possible but I couldn't let to spend all of that ! However, I couldn't go to this club because I had numerous activities which filled in my time.

At the end of 1998, I found a book to learn lace.

Everything has begun at that moment, lace of course, but also sculpture, marquetry, embroidering... and many other techniques.
