The births of her two daughters jostle her back to Berry, L'Atelier Photo born, the computer graphics comes naturally, life separates this creation. Painting is needed.

Whole Mi as the musical note exposes...

"The impression of painting appeared to me, from my first encounters with the art that nature embodies by its ineffable purities which I was deeply impregnated from the start. An intimate relationship was born immediately. It was then that this orientation towards figurative painting, which for me, expressed a kind of intrinsic representation of all that formed my artistic aspirations of the moment. I confided to the canvas all my torments, revealing to him that powerful feeling that animated me without really understanding its meaning. Later, a propensity for creation defined in stable forms, developed my sensitivity for the colors that I recognized in each of my achievements as being the culmination of my inner search. The bottom was thus found. The form was itself of the rhythm of my discoveries. And it was easy for me at the beginning to reproduce reality in the form of the abstract to which it was entirely my instinctively to give shapes in clean lines, with evanescent curves giving rise to bodies thus concretized. Knife painting concretizes the action by restoring to it the perspectives foreseen by my sensitivity; the space of large canvases responds to my desire for timeless escape and the spontaneous works are its purpose. In my opinion, creation is the fruit of the pictorial incarnation of which I am perhaps a depositary. "
