I am a French American artist based in Southampton.

My background is in graphics and computer animation.

I have exhibited my works in many venues and events in the U.K. and abroad too (France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Japan and South Korea)  

I am a multidisciplinary artist and I work in many different styles and mediums.

Art is never created in a vacuum. Whatever the Art, an artist’s work is a reaction to the world around them. And I think it is crucial for artists to play their part in their community to help foster creativity and wellbeing.

Every project is different and requires its own approach, I often use my Art as a catalyst for discussion that takes me on a voyage of discovery into my creative process.

The title of the commission,  “Anchors aweigh”, to me, indicates something that has begun and that a creative journey had started

I feel it is a good example of a project that is the result of the dialogue between myself, the local community  , and the pub’s proprietors. The multi-layered imagery and the varied cutout shapes in wood have been inspired by my brainstorm workshop with the pub’s staff and  my discussions with the customer. The great majority of the building block for this artwork were donated by the local community and I hope I can inspire people to be creative, reuse and up-cycle for themselves.

There are a lot of details in this artwork that are inspired by the local history and the pubs’ heritage. Some details are obvious ,and some are a bit more hidden
