I am a Scottish-French artist living and working in Edinburgh.
My practice spans from drawings on paper, to embroidery and knitting, to installation or live drawing in theatre. My most recent research explores connections between writing and drawing and forms of self-publication. I draw because it is intimate, fragile, subversive when enigmatic, experimental, immediate, in-between thinking and making, and of course, cheap and portable: the medium of freedom and resistance.
Before obtaining my PhD in Fine Art at the Sorbonne University in Paris in 2007, I studied medicine for two years at Edinburgh University, and this has largely influenced my drawing practice. I have been exhibiting my work in the UK and internationally since 2004. In 2018 I created animated projected drawings and drew live on stage for a collaboration entitled ‘Twa’ (which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2018 and which was showcased as part of Made In Scotland at this year’s Fringe). In 2019 I was awarded a Royal Scottish Academy bursary and an Edinburgh Council bursary which allowed me to learn etching and screen-printing techniques which I merge with my drawing process. This year I have been awarded funding from Creative Scotland for a new project making ‘art for all’ in the form of printed multiples.
