Following a first degree in textiles in Paris, I worked in corporate identity design in Paris, San Francisco and London.

An MA in printmaking at the University of England in Bristol led to the discovery of glass, with the help of the National Glass Research Centre in Sunderland. A one-year Residency at the University of the Creative Arts funded by Arts Council England made it possible to experiment with the approaches to print in glass that I am now developing in the context of a PhD at the Royal College of Art in London.


I am also Artist in Residence at the Bristol Eye Hospital alongside teaching, writing, exhibiting and undertaking commissions.
