Artist Statement

With the vision of giving a new life to usually discarded objects from the natural and urban environment, I play with forms, textures and colours to create unique pieces of jewellery. Fruits kernels, plant materials and recycled wood go through a precise process of transformation to reveal their hidden beauty. With a strong sense of narrative, my artwork is a commentary on my emotional, cultural and sensory experiences as a French-Australian.

I graduated with the Advanced Diploma of Jewellery Design in Perth in 2013 and in 2017 with the Postgraduate Diploma of Contemporary Applied Arts at the Massana School of Arts & Design in Barcelona, Spain. I have exhibited in Australia, Germany, Spain and France. I was twice the recipient of the JMGA “best interpretation of the theme” award.
