I was born and I live in Mauritius. After several years spent in France and South Africa, I came back to Mauritius in 1987 and started a design 'en appliques' textile enterprise, so that I could express my creativity. I paint principally women and markets and one can see my fascination for colours, fabrics and the exotic environment in which I live. I have recently started to paint abstracts as well. I would classify my paintings as 'naive decorative' and I paint most of the time with acrylic on canvas or paper. Contact us >>

I participated at several collective exhibitions :

    * - Salon des artistes de l'Ocean Indien en 1995 - 1996 - 1997 - 1998
    * - Galerie Helene de Senneville
          o - Trio de femmes - octobre 1996
          o - 10th anniversary of the gallery - august 1997
          o - Men and women of my country - may 2005

This year I abandoned textile design in order to spend more time on my passion which is to paint.

I hope you will enjoy visiting my site.
