After years of diverse experience in the fields of textiles, clothing, and patchwork, along with some essential training, she has been working almost exclusively by hand for around thirty years. She mainly creates appliqué houses, also incorporating reverse appliqué to enhance perspective, which has become a signature of her work. She also adds appliquéd or embroidered characters, often accompanied by slogans inspired by vintage advertising (Chocolat Menier and others). Paris is a major source of inspiration for her, as are the provinces and the countryside. Architecture plays an important role in her compositions, and she is particularly drawn to the combination of fabric appliqué and embroidery, which brings her scenes to life (something is always happening). Old city districts, regional houses, and rural landscapes are a rich source of inspiration for her. She has frequently exhibited in her region (Franche-Comté), and numerous articles in specialized press have helped establish her reputation.
In 2011, the Carrefour Show first opened its doors to her in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines: it was a great success and a deeply rewarding experience. This was followed by other prestigious venues such as the Prague Patchwork Meeting and the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. She had the opportunity to exhibit again at the Carrefour Européen in 2024. She has also exhibited several times in Nantes (PAF) and in Villefranche-sur-Saône at BIAT.
