About me

I’m a visual artist and illustrator born in France, spending my life between France and Portugal since 2016. After studying design in France, I went to Lisbon to learn Portuguese by myself and started a degree of Clinical Psychology. There I completed my first project, a travel book about Lisbon that I presented at the Rendez-vous du Carnet de Voyage in 2017 in Clermont-Ferrand. In 2018, I went to New York City for 3 months to participate in an artistic residency in a local gallery and to write my second travel book, an illustrated book about nature in New York City. I then returned to Lisbon and presented the second travel book at the Clermont-Ferrand Festival in 2019.

I continue my projects, including a series of psycho-educational comics on various mental health topics. The first one, published in 2021, Pompette, focuses on alcoholic disease and the world of wine.

Today my work is present in different galleries in Lisbon (Joia, Nova Banca), in Porto (Squid Ink) and in Belgium (That’s what x said).

My current work is primarily about my life, my journey and construction as a woman, my vision of femininity, my identity as an intersectional feminist with a disability and the difficulties I face with my mental health, all with a touch of sarcasm and sometimes optimism.
