The artisan jeweler draws her inspiration from nature and the universe to create unique, sculptural jewelry in gold and precious stones. Sometimes light and delicate, combining spirals and volutes, sometimes rough and textured.

For JEMA 2024, she wishes to combine the tactile experience of touching the pieces on display with an auditory experience of sound that accompanies all the manufacturing gestures: the hot sound of the blowtorch, the blow of the saw or the metallic rhythm of the hammer. In collaboration with Carole Mayans, bobbin and needle lace-maker, she wishes to introduce and encourage the public to become familiar with the textures of their respective materials, as well as with their manufacturing and construction processes.
