How would you describe your work/style to someone who hadn't seen it?
Hum… I am not really good at describing my work, I generally show it and wait for a reaction, and then I know if that’s ok or not. Generally people describe my world as fun, colourful and quirky. So I guess it must be reflected in my work too.
What piece of advice would you give your 15 year old self?

What is the worst job you have had?
I have had some silly jobs like stuffing snail shells for a French charcuterie or being paid to review washing powder and ready meals back in Paris (perfect when you are a student and can’t afford to buy either of them). Thinking about it now, it was all fun!

Iris Apfel, she wears statement glasses like no others. I want to be her when I grow old.

I listen to music all day long in my studio, so I karaoke in my head all day long! Right now, Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up is playing on the radio. Makes me want to dance!
