She works on the human figure in general, the portrait in particular, and takes part in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad. Her works are located in many countries: France, China (Beijing, Shanghai), Singapore, Jerusalem, Mauritania, Senegal ... She works on human and animal figures in general, portrait in particular. In his work as in life, the human being fascinates her, her otherness, her singularity, her truth. "Every being is for each one as distant as it is present". The face is the crystallization of a drama or an interior poetry, It seeks to approach the plausibility, more than the likeness of the model. To discover behind the forms which show themselves the forces which are hidden. A sculpted portrait is a plastic poem, a biography written in clay. All the imprints left in the earth are the stigmata of a past that is sometimes obscure, sometimes luminous, or an uncertain future. The authentic must reveal itself with its share of mystery. Promoted Knight of Arts and Letters in 2013, she received in 2014 the first accreditation of Official Painter of the Armies. She is a corresponding member of the European Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters and member elected to the office of the Maison des Artistes.
