I am an abstract painter, born and raised in France. I lived and worked successively in Paris, Provence, Brittany, London and New Orleans, until 1992 when I unexpectedly came upon Hawai’i, where I found the need to be. In the course of my career I have made largescale projects in architectural private and public spaces, which eventually led me to work episodically as an art consultant for some architectural firms. I also work as an independent cultural interpreter for the Hawaiian Islands, and cultivate the practice of Chado, the Japanese Way of Tea.
