Inspiration is everywhere, driven by emotion.
Images take over and, drawn in imagination, characters take place, empowered by color.
A mysterious story emerges in a soft glance, in a detail, a gesture, with each composition detailing its own story.
Each technique is a means to bind illusion,
A sculpture born in shadow play and vibrant colors,
A watercolor creates delicacy in urgency,
Radiant inks meld with sharp pencil strokes,
Illustrations animate text with ease,
Oil paint patiently explores canvas, seeking balance.
Born in Saint-Louis in Senegal, she spends her childhood in Africa.
