Happy lifetitude
Considering joy as the strongest value,
"Happy lifetitude" became both the starting point and the manifesto to my journey.
French born, with Dutch origins and deep love for History, I slowly grew an obsession for Italy and lifestyles.
From everyday life heroines, I like to embody and play with light and ingenuous characters into (extra-)ordinary european sceneries.
Storyboards, poster-drawings, handmade animations, models and cutings form the basis of my daydreams.

The Cloister, Milano
Few years ago, when I was wandering around, I found a pazzesco and unexpected space in the middle of le cinque vie, full of amazing and unique pieces from clothing to furniture.
I learned here my first few words of Italian and started a vintage addiction.

Terra degli uccelli
My love of fine drawing and details brings me to dedicate my free time to storytelling based on my own scripts and graphics.
I realised how much I enjoy to immerse my characters into a bring to life atmosphere with a project called Terra degli uccelli, a love story buoyed by birds in an antique Mediterranean city.
The seeds which appeled storytelling were genuine love, and astonishment for cities full of treasures and energies.
With this ongoing project, I tried to reveal the wit and elegance of discreet personalities.
Now passed the solitary conception, I would love to enhance and lead the storyboard to a film making - a social activity.
I wish to keep learning from other disciplines and meet producers and crews to give movement, music and voices to this adventure.
I envision to develop this project for the next 10 years.
In the mid time I keep my eyes open for new projects !
Thank you for taking time to read and enjoy my little gallery
