I create living jewellery, made from raw, natural materials, picked with respect. Each piece tells a story. A real approach inspired by Nature. It all began 20 years ago, during a long stay in Brazil, where I learned to observe nature in a different way. Since then, I've been gathering seeds, pods and bark that have reached maturity naturally, without harming the ecosystem. Naturally stable and resistant, these materials require no varnish or resin. Depending on the season, I carefully select my plants between France and Brazil, and also trade with nomadic craftsmen. This has enabled me to expand my collection, for example with 'plant gold', a fine, supple golden straw, or natural-coloured seeds that I pierce, polish or shape according to their texture. Recently, I've also been adding feathers that have fallen naturally during moulting, which I collect locally and prepare with care. 100% natural creations Out of respect for the knowledge passed down and for nature, I use no metal, glue or industrial beads. Each piece is assembled by hand, using a delicate weave of woven cotton thread, to create unique pieces of jewellery, embroidered like plant paintings, in my workshop in Sallertaine, in the Vendée.

Born from the whims of the relief and the fervour of an Abbot, it makes its appearance at the bend in the path that climbs to the Chapelle Largeau. Like a guide or a lighthouse, soothing by its serene presence, and so eternal: the Chapel of Saint Joseph stands at the top of the Ouin Valley. The traveller may be astonished, moved or meditate in front of this majesty. It proudly dominates this valley, at the bottom of which, the river Ouin, runs alongside, meanders and separates, sometimes the Maine et Loire, the Vendée or the Deux Sèvres. At the height of the trilogy, the parish itself was, over the centuries, under the dependence of three dioceses: Maillezais, La Rochelle and Poitiers! »
